Hi: You are right in the main of the argument, results matters, but then we have a problem: which results we have? The pool where GM's gets his scores is huge in number of members, games and time. Hundreds of thousands of games giving meaning to the entire structure. Chess programs has games againts GM - at 40 in 120- only in the order of dozens. So I would say there is no enough statistic evidence against or in favor of GM tesis. All We have are some games won, some lost, that's all. Also you are right that GM's are just human beings prone to mistakes, but if you are coherent with your own argument, "only results matters", then to mention the mistakes or failures or ugly moves they sometimes commit is out question for your cause. Fact is that in terms of results they are far superior to other guys. My guess is: there are three programs with weak GM level in 40-120. But I have no facts to support that. Only a guess. Programs are Gambit Tiger, Deep Fritz and Shredder. Probably also Junior. Fernando
