In fact I saw the statements of the WCCC and I ad once was thinking some
programs will perform worse if they are just installed on a computer
Leading to false results
All program with learning have trouble with this only one more then the other.
I don't know the reason of this but I do know this from expierince.
But in fact it is like a Tournament player who prepared his games and when he
has to play the tournament he has to forget everthing he prepared.
