This particular kind of title in which a totally unsubstantiated claim is
followed by an exclamation mark could spoil the atmosphere here on CCC.  Why do
people "shout" about something that is only a guess based on nothing else but
gut feeling?  Unless, of course, such a provocative title has been intended to
draw a huge number of irrelevant posts about who was right and who was wrong,
etc.

I cannot but wonder why someone would _claim_ that program X is notorious for
noplaying computers that beat it _without_ a thorough statistical analysis and
prior to some kind of explanation by the operator of program X.
