Hmm, I was simply saying - hiarcs is now chessbase product, so I would prefer to
buy palm hiarcs from chessbase too , and not from some _unknown_ site.
if you like lokasoft buy from lokasoft . I am not here to advertise.
But _statistical significance_   :)
ask Chesstiger author he will tell you about statistical significance ..

I didn't say chessbase publish statistics - but I trust SSDF , don't you ?
