you are confusing things. i was *not* talking about anything that happened in
graz. i was talking about some basic abstract logic stuff. the debate started
over something that happened in graz, but that's also where graz ends in this
thread.

to educate you: it should be "in reality....". to educate you some more: bob is
quite capable of defending himself!

*everybody* makes stupid mistakes. some make more than others. but nobody is
perfect. bob has made mistakes before, he will continue to do so, and so will i,
and so will you.
if you want to build a shrine for bob and worship him every day, go ahead. i
don't believe in that kind of stuff...

science is a meritocracy. in computer chess, nobody cares how old you are, or
what titles you have. all you want to know is "just how good is the engine this
guy wrote?". GCP has written a chess engine which is probably better than
crafty. you call him a kid? well, in fact he is nearly still a kid as far as age
goes, *and* he has written an outstanding chess engine! i deeply respect both
bob and GCP as chess programmers. which doesn't mean i won't contradict them
when i feel like it, or that i automatically respect them when it comes to other
issues; e.g. i don't respect them as chess players.
you are also contradicting me when you feel like it, although, by your
standards, you are a kid compared to me ;-)
