Please Bob, take notice:

IF
Genius 4 would have made an elo jump of 150 Elo points
and IF
       I would have had it for a couple of months without recognizing
this mega jump
and IF it would have a non-public-autoplayer

THAN i would have doubts of the same SIZE and loudness !

Please take car that it is NOT the fact that Fritz is suddenly no.1.
By repeating this you simplify a much more complex problem.

I have had fritz before Paris97.
I had played games with it.
I have now 64 MB hash and the junior-upgrade.
And I don't get Enrique's results.
I guess the reason is clear: he uses the "autoplayer" and I do play with
my own hands. This seems to change the elo ! :-)

All ok, but - as I said - you underestimate the problem.
Fritz plays at my home like a slightly better Fritz4.
Not more. No first rank, maybe 40 ElO's above Fritz4.
But NO mega jump.
