Subject: Operator Intervention and Graz - Time Control Issue

For a while now everyone has been argung two points. Is the operator a passive
or an active factor in computer chess.

What about a related manner. From the pictures I saw the games were ultimately
played on boards. I also believe there were standard chess clocks used for the
official timing (could be wrong here). What happens if a program loses on time
because of excessive lag on the operators part during the game. The program
thinks it has say 1 minute left and the clock says the game is forfeited. I
realize that the operators probably anticipate a certain lag when the programs
are set up and run, but what happens if things go wrong? Is the game forfeit or
not due to the operator?
