Agreed, but Ed correctly pointed out that one also doesn't know what the result would have been had they played against each other with the proper books. For my part, I find both programs to be extremely impressive. I have a few tests of my own, and one of them consists of a proposed rook exchange that would lead to a won pawn endgame. Rebel and Hiarcs are the only programs (not using any endgame tablebase) that go for the exchange AND see that it is completely won BEFORE actually making the exchange. Frankly it's hard to say which is better as they do play somewhat differently.
