Even without the processor question of a dual system over a single cpu there is
the Fritz 6 fact already acknowledged and I must also assume the same thing is
applicable to both Junior 6 and Deep Junior that the engine upgrades were made
by some not by others therefore even with these two programs the same thing
happened it's results are mixed up between it's two versions and cannot be
separated.

That to me is plenty to doubt.
