I talked to Hsu and asked him specifically about this. He said he did not save
the game scores. I listened to his answer while looking him in the eye and I
believed him. What do you base your assertion that he is lying on? I am inclined
to take a person's word without the personal interview, but in this case I had
that added benefit. I don't really care if DB would beat today's programs or
not, since it does not exist any longer, but I do not like people calling Hsu a
liar with no evidence. If you have some, please post it.
