He could say he disagree but saying that there is no evidence in the text for his claim is wrong. losing concentration is some evidence for being tired. You can claim that it is not a convincing evidence because it can be result of other things but I agree with the interpretation that smirin was tired. Smirin never thought that the computers were weak so I see no reason for him to lose concentration if being concentrated is something very easy for him to do. People who are more tired find it more hard to concentrate. It does not mean that it is impossible for them to concentrate so saying that smirin did not concentrate because of wrong evauation of the position as easy draw may be correct but it is only one of the reasons.
