Jouni, although Chessbase can often be accused of a lot of spin, which is
understandable, I can accept the statement made by Mig as an honest evaluation.
To quote a statement later in the article, which qualifies your quote:

"We surmise that today's top programs play consistently at a 2500-2600 level of
chess quality. The difference is that they instantly and mercilessly punish
every human mistake and almost never let a winning position slip. This
near-elimination of the margin for error pushes their practical performance up
toward the 2800 level."
