Extraordinary statements require extraordinary proof. BTW, does everybody remember when Ruffian first appeared and some of the top programmers went on record saying they were essentially 100% certain that it could not be a new engine (i.e., that it must be a modified version of one of the already well-known engines)? There was a huge debate here on this topic. May I assume that this has been settled once and for all, and that some big names in chess programming were simply wrong? Or is there still lingering doubt?
