Subject: Source of Differences between engines

Seems to me that this is less a matter of dramatic or altogether different
concepts translated to code than a matter of delicate ponderation of common
variables.  Probably engines share 99% of the tools already known  that became
commodities since long ago, BUT a + or -  of this or that in the scale of
decimal points to use and mix all of them makes huge diference after all.
Probably I can generalize this to any kind of high level perfomance, where
outputs depends at last not of big shunks, but of minute weights.
KInd of variation of the butterfly effect when and only when you are beyond
certain point of proficiency.
What do yo think?
