Yes, you are probably right. I was really just being cheeky. It would have been more sensible to just say 'Ferret is enormously stronger than Gerbil'. Ferret is one of the world's strongest chess engines. Gerbil is a simple learning engine. The gulf is enormous, but surely not 1000 ELO in reality. Probably 500 is a better estimate.
