Presumably he is talking to his second GM Miguel Illescas who was on the Deep
Blue team and who knows and understands more about the playing strength of the
Deep Blue myth than any self-appointed expert here.

Yes, it is the same Illescas that lost 0:2 against Deep Junior at g/60 in the
Kasparov.com Grand Prix. No, Deep Junior didn't play GM level in those games. He
only calculated more deeply.
