I very much adhere to the "guilty unless proven" principle. And I would _never_
point fingers at new engines and claim it's a clone and what not.

But the fact that not only _many_ filenames but also quite a lot of (nontrivial)
symbol names in the engine (which can be obtained with the Unix-command
'strings' vor example) together with the fact that he didn't react _at all_ to
the reasonable suggestions from the responsibles in Graz (like meet Dr. A. Heinz
a week later etc) are _IMHO_ some basis to be at least sceptical.

If I say that 'List is a non-engine' for me, that doesn't mean I say he's
guilty. (I would need clear evidence for that, and what I know so far is not
enough proof IMHO) It means that I treat List as if it's non-existant at all.

(skipped his thoughts on what would happen if List would play in an 'official'
tournament again - let's say CCT6 ;)
