I think the testing thing is the key here too.
I read somewhere that CT said he used just as much time to develope test
envirioment as he use with developing the engine.

In the Winboard world there isn't many (free) tools for this purpose so I guess
this should suggest that testing isn't done very much by amateurs.

I made a tool for automatic tuning of an engine but there have been zero
feedback on this so I guess most found this sort of tools useless.
