People are like that. ;) I remember that one engine-author/company advertised
their chess-product with 'We beat the world-champion!'. Of course they didn't
mention the small fact, that they beat it only because the operator of the
opponent dropped a cup of coffee over it...  Oh well :)

Disclaimer: I _think_ it happened this way, but I'm not sure. If you know
better, please correct me.
