Yes, I also agree. I test with one and two computer with ponder on and off. The results are almost the same within the statistical margin of error. I have seen programmers on CCC claim bad results do to testing with ponder off some years ago. I tested this claim, which I found to say nicely NOT TRUE. I have yet to see a program that plays worse, or better statistically speaking with ponder on or off.
