If you fail to take their conciderations into account, your reasoning is
contaminted by your own interpetation/s of the SSDF and therefore not valid in
the context you present here.

Knowing that they do not claim to be 100% accurate is an important factor as it
nullifies your critique...

It is just a list, where they present the numbers produced by different chess
programs, not a soap opera. Take it or leave it there is flaws in anything if
you look hard enough.

But the problem is, you seem to overlook that they do not claim that the SSDF is
a 100% accurate scientific conclusion.
