I do not think that this is the conclusion.

It is already known that Junior8 almost beated Crafty with 10:1 hardware
advantage in peter berger's experiment.

It was slightly older Crafty but Shredder7.04 is probably better than Junior8
based on the ssdf list and
the hardware difference is smaller than the difference in Junior-Crafty so I
expected based on the result of Junior-Crafty a slightly better result for
shredder and the result can be seen as a small disappointment for shredder.
