I think Bob talks about the same I do.

The ELO generated out of these results has not the same QUALITY it would
have had if you would have used SAME machines.
You cannot turn this arround and argue:
But with hiarcs the things worked too.
If it works with hiarcs, the same method does not have to work with
fritz5 too.
The 2 different programs get their playing strength from 2 different
things.
If you change ONE MAIN parameter in your experiment, and the parameter
advances Fritz, than you don't get AEQUIVALENT or comparable results.
