I think that you do not consider the fact that humans know today to play better against chess programs. I believe that programmers who do their programs clearly better in comp-comp games usually do them better also in comp-humans games. It may be common that one program is slightly better against humans when the other program is slightly better against computers but cases when one program is clearly better(more than 100 elo difference) against computers and not better against humans are rare. A possible reason for exceptions is if one program is too known by humans so humans know it's weaknesses better and this is the reason that I am not going to be surprised if Fritz is weaker against humans.
