most here are aware of this.  Noomen,Kure, etc.
not the answer I was looking for at all, Dan.

these "book builders", what databases do they consult?
where are they getting their moves?
what is the fide rating of these "book builders".
do these book builders claim that they have researched and studied moves
   that no GM in history has ever played?
do these book builders claim that they spend 1000"s of hours using programs
   playing openings over and over, until they can conclude that they have
    an original opening line to put in their "wrote his own book".
please comment how you look at these "wrote his own book".
