If it is weaker than F6 on one processor, the following ad
http://www.chessbase.com/newproducts.htm#deep
certainly doesn't warn the customer of that fact.

Thanks to testing, we (so far seem to know) that it is weaker.
Would YOU have known, by reading the above advertisement?

Do you claim that Chessbase KNEW it was weaker, and "not (intended) for one
processor", but FORGOT to mention it? Is that your claim?
THAT, would be insane, so to speak.

It will be easy to put a note on that rating, that it is on one processor, then
rate it on a dual in the future.

You think they deserve to be punished, because they were not more secretive, by
forbidding it to be tested on a single, after they advertise that it will run on
that, without a warning?

Why don't you say "hurray", because testing has revealed some facts?
