My reply to this is that I would like to agree, but there is a large difference in the quality of some of the books. Also, some engine books give the appearance the author has "booked up" against other engines. All this skews the ability to distinguish which engine actually does a better job of evaluation. Key point: In order to be fair, the assumption should be made that we want to assess an engines ability to evaluate chess as a whole, and not merely the subset of the game which it's author feels it evaluates well.
