I did not say it.
Not caring about difference of less than 0.03 pawns does not mean being a bean
counter and the program can still have significant positional scores.

I consider difference of 0.04 pawns as a positional difference and even 0.4 pawn
is a positional difference.

I do not have Fritz7 but the only way to know if the program is better or worse
than Fritz6 is by testing.
