Probably, yes! Have you not noticed how nearly every new program is hyped as the best thing, next to sex, or being a GM yourself! :-) To be honest though, I think the situation has improved a lot! The programs of today are usually not claimed to have a spesific rating, or being advertised as the undisputable best in the world etc. etc. And how relevant will human rating be in 10 years time, when no GM has a chanse in hell against silicon anyway?
