I don't understand how you get the 95%. I thought it means 100%. Of course,
Shredder will win less than 95% of the games, but when everyone keeps saying the
elo means nothing because of the error margin, I would have thought that atleast
now, there's absolutely no doubt left, as the error margins do not overlap each
other at all.
