I think that we needs more than it.
I see a lot of claims without a proof.

We talk about old version of list that is freeware so we need instructions for
everybody how to generate a proof that the claims are correct.

Claiming that a program has the same holes in evaluation is not enough and we
need to see examples.

Note that attacking list is attacking Dann Corbit indirectly because if the
accusation against list can be proved then it mean that Dann is blind in the
best case and lied about list in the worst case.

I want to believe that the accusations are wrong because I prefer to believe
Dann and not somebody who hides and even does not mention his name.

I think that even if the accusation are right it was wrong to throw list in the
middle of the tournament and it should be punished before the tournament or
after it.
