I know what you mean. However, although some people will try to get almost
clones of other engines, many others have their own opinion about how to
evaluate a position, and will disagree no matter what the figures say. The idea
is not to obtain only one figure for every engine, but to find flaws (especially
in delicates positions such as those with passed pawns, etc...)
