If two parties agree on FOUR games >and there is a winner then we can say the winner >is_the_best_or even the strongest You can say it a hundred times but it doesn't make it true. (if you add "In this series" it is true though) Ask you local math teacher about statistics. But maybe you're right and 4 games are enough. Gosh, must the SSDF be stupid and play so many games. >Look a tourney is an agreed tourney between two parties with the understanding >of possibly ONE winner who has the GLORY of saying I AM THE BEST!! Dont take >anything away from a winner. In the Kaspy ver Computer match we can say there >were no winners. Title wise. We're discussing on different "levels". You're talking about the "I am / we are the best" claims of fans after a won tourney. That's fine with me. I'm talking about the 'statistically proven that X is better than Y'. There's a difference.
