I don't think you did. Actually it's not possible to prove this.

This is not directed against you. It applies to everybody here including me.

We should always keep it in mind.




> That I _do_ exist.


That is something that you do not need to prove.

Again, the same applies to everybody here.

I agree with you on this one.

They are either not produced with equal hardware, or fair conditions in general,
or it's the most incredible strike of luck I have ever seen.

The probability that the results stand when we get the EXE and that it is really
a new original engine is in my opinion 0.01%.

It's not impossible, but frankly I don't believe it.

If it's really original and that good, I guess I will have to apologize and find
myself another job. :)
