Subject: Getting dat dem ol' T.J. Watson deep blues...

IBM was the "referee", true?. How did GK possibly let
this happen? Was he not aware of the "air" that would
surround a match where the referee was the sponsor?

Also,I believe Deep Blue was allowed to change
its settings before each game (or was it each move), presumably
programmed in by the programmers to confuse GK. Was this
reprogrammability built-in and automatic between games or was it
done by the programmers between games. What is the concensus of
people on this group  about doing such a thing? Certainly if it's
programmable, it's fair game. But shouldn't it be limited to only
permitted if completely automatic and done by the program free of the
programmers?
