What George meant I believe, is that WITHIN the set of games that he played, Shredder 8 won "convincingly". Naturally, that's not the same thing as saying that 20 games has MUCH if any statistically convincing evidence. George is just saying that within 20 flips of the coin, he got heads 10 times, tails 4 times, and flipped the coin off into the grass and couldn't tell the result, 6 times. Now George knows it's time to mow the grass. :) Dave
