Agreed, but it it not declared a commercial blahblah, but a serious interview.

That's IMHO a huge difference, between dumb product advertisement and an
interview with Friedel, founder of ChessBase, and probably in some GM-scenes the
pope of computer chess. If he states the "strongest" chess program, then a huge
amount of chess players or interested laities believes it.
