I agree, partially. I think that you should do the majority of the games with the default settings. For instance, if you play 6 games, I would say either do all 6 with default settings, or maybe 4 with default settings and 2 with a different personality. I think if you used 6 different personalities in 6 different games, that isn't really going to do anything but make the results more unstable. If Sjeng loses, people will say, "well he used those weaker personalities instead of the default settings which everyone knows are stronger." If Sjeng wins some games, people may get the false impression that it was because of a particular personality or tweaked settings. I think I'd like to see all (or at least most) of the games using the same settings/personality. That way we can get SOME level of consistency. I'm sure many hundreds or thousands of games would be needed to be "accurate", but 6 is better than 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1, IMO.
