Or do you think that each event has forcedly experimental importance? This is wrong! Unfortunately many of your Three-Brain events have no experimental meaning because you didn't provide exact documentation, you just gave a comment here or there, but that is not documentation. It's a sad thing and such a waste of good chances to get serious results. Under documentation I understand giving the machines' exact display for each move and then your choice and for what reasons.
