It could be this it could be that, it could be, and and and...

Fact is your reasoning is wrong and easy to check. Just run a match Century 3
- Junior 6a with an older Rebel book (they are all on the Rebel 11 cdrom) and
you will get similar results. Also run Century 1 vs Century 3 and use whatever
equal book and you will see what happens to poor Century 1.
