I only said that the results of Rebel against humans are results of
old rebel.

I did not claim that Rebel is weak and I guess that later version of rebel
is stronger than old Rebel.

My point is that  there is no way to use the results of Rebel against humans to
say that Rebel is better than other programs against humans because if we use
results of programs against humans then the latest programs also did not lose a
match against humans.

I did not claim that movei is better than Rebel and I am sure that Rebel is
going to beat movei of today in a match.

If people want to do it I have no objection.
I expect movei to get 10-30%.
