Today can last forever, as each time I look at the time, I see "today". This is where I see the problem that GCP has. Do we have _conclusive_ proof that Ruffian 2.0 is the strongest? How can you say this statement when you don't know for sure. There is such a thing as false advertising, and all it would take is another Winboard engine to beat Ruffian 2.0 in a match to prove this claim is false and I would be able to sue your company. I remember years ago a company here in town said it had "The best hamburger in Edmonton". Some locals businesses took them to task on the statement, proved it wrong by a panel of 40 testers, and won a court battle biased on false advertising. Before one makes such statements, I would be sure they are correct. Peter.
