If this thread is going to start up again, please let it not go down this
particular path.

When you say that match never occurred, you are saying that a particular person,
namely Murray Campbell, lied to me when I asked him about this match after a
lecture.  You are also saying that Feng Hsu lied to Bob in email between those
two.

Whatever you think about IBM or Deep Blue or any of the rest of this, these guys
don't deserve to be accused of lying.

I think discussion of those games will be fruitless because we don't have them,
and the details surrounding how they were played are still fuzzy.  Any
conclusions drawn from them are only minimally useful in my pesonal opinion.

The only thing worse than making conclusions from these games is making
conclusions out of thin air, which is the alternative.

Fact is that the obvious questions about how DB would do against micros can't be
answered.  It is only possible to speculate.
