There's a standard Crafty book available and the settings for strongest possible
play should be possible to get from Dr. Hyatt or other Crafty experts. So a
possible future test with another purpose wouldn't be impossible.

You're right, it doesn't. And since you're the one performing the test, the
primary concern should be resolving your own questions. Since I use the adapter
