I never said so; they are just proven to be VERY GOOD and obviously better than
te original settings.

Good luck! :-)
I know what I say, I have been testing settings many times and often had to
throw them into the basket...

I would have no problem with that.

What is "good so far" when the match is equal? I thought yours have to be
better. :-)
Anyway no settings are accepted as "best" unless they have confirmed strength
against other programs. CM6k/Cummings may win against CM6555 but that doesn't
mean that it also wins against the other programs like Hiarcs, Rebel etc.!
An internal engine-competition MAY give a hint. On your side I would do some
position tests and compare them both.
