The point is that if 5-0 does no tell you which side is better
than 6 games with minimal result also does not tell you much
and it is even possible that the loser is 200 elo better
and it is impossible to know that Deeper blue is better
Than Deep Fritz based only on the result.

The performance of other programs against humans also suffer
relative to deeper blue or deep thought
from the fact that humans have the possibility to buy the program.

Not all of them use it but it is enough that
part of them do it in order to reduce the performance of programs.
