The likelihood of an accumulation of negative impressions and experiences is a
possible explanation of the decisions made. However, not easy to validate and
not exactly evidence of anything in particular. And it's fair to point out that
your initial statement "They all agree with Kasparov that it wasn't DEEP BLUE2's
strength alone." is dubious at best, so I think Walker's objections where quite
accurate in that regard at least.

Of course not :-).
