It's not a matter of opinion, but a matter of fact. If someone >disagrees with a fact, then their "opinion" isn't worth much is it? You are correct. Facts beat opinions. But! If you think about this for a moment you will understand that the term "facts" must be explained. And it's my determined opinion (as it is a matter of fact in science BTW) that the factual results of show events are not able to constitute facts, say that computers are already at GM level. BTW Dr. Hyatt did _not_ just have the opinion, but he relied on safe facts that in tournament mode it's not exactly GM level already. Facts from observations on the net. Hope this helps to differentiate. Rolf Tueschen > >Maybe Bob said something three years ago about how computers weren't at GM level >yet. I wouldn't know.
