If nothing else, Weiners present behaviour alone justifies in my opinion the autoplayer policy of ChessBase. Fritz with its strictly encyclopedic book created from GM databases without any tuning against computers would be even more vulnerable than other programs to book cooking if somebody just tried hard enough - and there's some folks around who right now demonstrate by their passionate hatred that they would be quite capable and willing to do so and even have the money to spend on such an effort (demonstrated by numerous anti-Fritz advertising campaigns in German magazines).
