For the same reason i expect a draw in world champs 2003 between Fritz and
Brutus.

Imagine the very well sold commercial program at a small PC, whose public
statement is that it only learns through search, it plays a 6 times faster
opponent who in its evaluation is applying double the knowledge.

Normally spoken that is a loss by natural induction with small draw chances.
