Both are "no computer" players.  And both don't play anybody, any number of
games.  Which is perfectly OK of course...

IE think about "computer & rating > myrating-25)"  That is _effectively_
"!computer"...

Everyone is free to do what they want there.  But drawing conclusions from the
rating is misleading.  Some are "cyborgs" where the human interferes in the
games nearly every move, controlling the time, forcing moves, etc.  Some are
fully automatic and play anyone that comes along, automatically.  And some are
somewhere in between.
