You can hardly call it weakness. Any human with strength ~ 2000 ELO (FIDE),CC experience ,fast computer, top program and enough time should be able to outsearch the programs and win 4.5-1.5,5-1,5.5-0.5 or 6-0. Luck is of course also a factor. IMO it would be more interesting to see if a master (>2400) with computer help can beat the 6 machines clearly, provided he has only 2 or 3 hours for all the games.
