It was *YOU* that stated:

------------------
In such a competition, I suspect that Crafty would come out on top of the rating
list simply because Hyatt says Crafty does very little pruning.  [This assumes
that the Crafty operator does not shut the engine off due to boredom.  : )]
-------------------

If you can't validly substantiate your claims and aren't willing to defend
them, THEN PLEASE DON'T MAKE ANY.

And as for your 'relevant' tests, are those the ones where you look at the
score of multiple engines and conclude that the one that is 'out of line'
must necessarily have 'something wrong' with it?
