Because if I analyse a very deep position with GT, or whatever I think is the
best, I will not feel sure until I set up another program and wait many hours to
get the same position analysed again, just in case the first program missed
something which its "fear-enemy" will not miss. I will never have a program I
can feel I can trust.(as showing as much as a program can show).

If that's its worsed enemy from last and new generations, then that's ok!
