Not enough games have been played in a scientifically controlled environment.

Hopefully SSDF will now test CM8000 in comparison with other top programs, but
that could take a year or so:

Shep's tests also bear watching:

In the meantime many individuals will do their own testing and come to their own
private conclusions, in almost all cases without sufficient sample size or
proper controls. My personal hunch is that CM8000 is stronger than prior
versions of CM, but that remains to be proven. There is always a chance for bugs
to creep into new versions in a sly fashion.
