You and some other guys keep saying this ("Nothing") but that is not a good
interpretation of the list.
The ratings are the best predictions of each engines strength. Fritz is still
the best prediction of who is the best even if it's a quite unsafe prediction.
The current error margin just says tell us that we can't be 95% sure. Lower the
expectations of probability and the error margin intervals will shrink.
