Yes, even the day after Shredder won, he did not own the world title any longer.
There should have been another WCCC immediately. And let's organize WCCC's until
Shredder doesn't win, then we can claim we said it was not the best.
This qualification is only for those hoping to replace Shredder for jealousy,
greed, marketing (money) reasons.
Besides, does the 2001 version of Kramnyik own a World title? By your argument,
only if he hasn't learned and hasn't forgotten anything.

And of course it is highly improbable that Shredder has been improved ever
since.

This is not an argument, this is a claim. Unbiased, of course.
