As I've tried to point out several times before, TPR != absolute strength.
Until you can get <insert program name here> to actually play against Kasparov
in a match and get an equivalent TPR _against him_, or can get DB to play
against the same players from which ProgramX has gotten its TPR, so that a real,
meaningful, comparison can be made, a TPR really means nothing.

As for the position Hsu used for DB's NPS, it was just the average - the
approximate number seen at all positions.  The math has been shown for this many
times also... And you don't ask what position DJ got 2.5m NPS in? :)
