There is also a clear difference between the suggestions and you know it. single processor winner is at least winner in something with practical meaning for people(not everybody is using more than one cpu). The problem with the suggestion is that deciding about a single processor winner in WCCC prevents you to play for both titles so if there is a competition for best single processor it should be in different time than WCCC and practically there is a competition for best single processor (it is called ssdf) and I believe that the ssdf will have no problem to test Jonny or Falcon if the programmers ask them to do it.
