I do understand your methodological concern, but pray tell me which other
program (apart from a SMP version of Fritz or DJ) could be 120 pts above
Shredder 4?  I believe that Chessbits have been doing this testing merely to
experiment, and that's why they haven't released official data.  As the SMP
version of a program is supposed to be about 1.5-1.7 (depending on the efficacy
of the implementation), that would put the actual ELO margin at about 70.  The
question to answer is:  WHICH other program could have made such a staggering
jump?

Thank _you_ for discussing the matter provokingly.  I still think that we would
have made a couple of lousy sleuths :-)
