Why don't you read Vincent's original post a bit closer?
He says: 'would be interesting to seehow Gandalf evaluates this now!'
So clearly he is not making any conclusion about the current version.

I'm thankful that people like Vincent still post interesting things on CCC,
otherwise we would just have the usual endless debates about whether computers
are GM strength, or the results of the latest coin tossing experiment.

Back to the subject: can anyone post Gandalf analysis for that position?
