Most often people really don't have any idea what what they are talking about, when they talk about computer chess in the "normal" non-insider's world... (As whith any specialist topic.) The challenge would be, you'd need to find replies which sound as stupid as those comments, but would be correct at the same time (because sophisticated "techie" comments won't do it anyway for that type of audience).
