I think it's sound to be suspicious and that will in the long run benefit all of
the computer-chess society. But I would never accuse anyone in public for
cheating without substancial evidence or at least strong circumstantial
evidence.
We can never clean out all cheating but with good rules and proceedures we could
at least decrease the problem to a minor one. The proposed "All programs have to
produce a public log"-rule is good example of this IMO.

BTW. Congratualtions to a splendid performance!
(No one has ever accused me for cheating yet with Terra. I would probably be
proud if some jerk did that!)
