It might be equal to that mark. The calibration has certainly drifted (that's just common sense). However, who is going to pay the bazillion dollars to get 1000 GM games against these programs? The answer is simple: Nobody is going to do that. Therefore, we must consider the list as a rating of program against program on that particular hardware against those particular machines. Nothing more, and nothing less. We can extrapolate that the most highly rated programs would do best against humans, but even that is uncertain.
