His reason for claiming "fraud" is that he can't produce decent speedup numbers for his own program. His "sponsors" aparently knew about the Cray Blitz numbers, and when his effort "flopped" he had to do _something_ to avoid looking foolish. He told me _exactly_ that in a private email before this all "broke loose".. It isn't about intellectual honesty. It is about _fraud_. His fraud and his dishonesty. But, of course, if you just read my frequent responses to his posts, you'll get the point. He has made _plenty_ of accusations. I have challenged each and every one with facts _anyone_ can verify. And he runs and hides. But for this one case, he _knows_ that all the original data was lost years ago, so he knows that he has a chance of keeping this "alive" since I will never be able to recover that data. And so for 99% of his claims, I've shot him down each and every time, so that he looks (by now) to be a complete fool. But for this one case, all I can do is explain how and why the numbers look as they do, and that's all. So there is a "crack" in the door and he keeps trying to squeeze through. Now he apparently has my dissertation, even though he claimed he could not get it for 6 weeks. And he doesn't like the results there either. But he can't discredit them in the same way. So now we are off in the "depth - first search is not what anybody uses at a tournament." angle even though that is so utterly stupid it is hard to believe anyone would make such a statement. But it is a part of his "discredit at all costs" agenda. Notice that when I post something he always says "send me the logs". I usually do, or as I did for the last set of data, I just put 'em on my ftp server for _everyone_ to see. Have you _ever_ seen him post "Hmmm... Your logs show that your 4 cpu speedup really was 3.2X..." Not a chance. Have you ever seen _him_ post any logs here showing _anything_ about his speedup? Who do you suppose _really_ has something to hide? I release my source. I release my logs. I release my test sets. What does Vincent release? Lots of bullshit. Nothing more. Nothing less. Always the same. Lies and more lies, backed up by lies. Never a retraction when caught red-handed. Just more lies, until he gets into a corner, and runs and hides until the next time...
