Hi:
I studied enough maths and statistics in my old -young- years to know that with
24 games between so narrowly dispersed differences in the subjets of the sample,
in this case the programs, you cannot tell.  But clearly the target of BG was
not to ensure accurate statistical results, because that would imply a too long
match. It is a mistake to take all this event as a scientifical experiment to
probe something and then critizice it because of his shortcomings. It was not.
It was a commercial event and that's all.
Fernando.
