Isn't it impolite to imply the third option if Bob JUST said that he did give
some? No respect whatsoever or what? The implication alone should be avoided
among decent people - UNLESS there already were some cases of that same
mechanic. Wild claims and no evidence. Up to now I see only two people who are
involved in that profession. Two programmers from BENELUX. I see others who have
Bob on their agenda for his - completely justified - criticism of the
Levy/Herigh chess organization and its incredibly stupid decisions (in Graz). In
that context we have two from a specific country who are promoting the _next_
Wch; of course they do also publish their being angry because of Bob's criticism
in the tournament schedule of the event as such. That is impossible to enjoy for
people who are really working hard in institutions. Such as universities. Not
the worst place to be. It is absurd that programmers travel away form home for
two weeks all 6 months just to operate! The same could be accomplished via
Internet in a way better optimized style. In times of automatization it's almost
a joke to have these creative people act like robots/automats who move the
pieces around which the machine orders them. Incredible stupidity.

That all is the mixture compositum of the confusion here that goes allegedly
about "error estimates". I can't believe my eyes when I see how Bob is patient
enough to answer all kind of outlandish questions, and I dont particularly mean
yours here.
