I did not say that programs do not have defects.

I believe that more than 90% of the programs have the defect of not considering
opposition in their evaluation

I tried shredder5.32 on p200 and you can see that it also does not have the
knowledge and in the first plies it likes Qg5+ and does not see Kg3 in the main
line.

I  also plan to continue to have this defect in the evaluation of my program at
least in the next year because I do not consider it as important.
