Pardon ??

The bean-counters do - in no way -
kill the others. its opposite. when hiarcs came on the market
(maybe you forgot about) it dominated. Same counts for
shredder4 and will be for shredder5.
Also for Tiger12/13/Gambit-Tiger.
Also ChessMaster programs were really good when they came
on the market.

what you should NOT do is relating a program like hiarcs
wit todays programs (no matter if bean-counter or knowledge).

the same with shredder. GT kills shredder4.
Shredder5 will not be killed, or ?

so the problem is relating OLD knowledge base programs against
later bean-counters. or vice-versa.


your comments reminds me on famous american-western question where they
legitimate the killing of indians with the question: do indians have a soul?!
