If you go out by car, do you drink alcohol ? you always choose the right behaviour or the right style or the right thing. you adapt to the outer world. thats what human beeing (and other animals) do all day long. >and we have a race of settings for every >engine. The whole concept of comparing engines would be out of bounds and not >practical anymore. ?? and you believe comparing engines with a random style done by the programmer makes more sense. Pro deo or Rebel or XYZ comes out with a style. who says this style works ? God ? The styles that come with the progams are only an effort. they are not the last word. ed god XY % with his style, he said. HE said. thats the important information in the sentence. Ed said he had xy % + in relation to the older rebel programs. But what does this mean ? did ed test his latest Pro Deo style versus Shredder8 ? And did it get the xy % against this program ? >The question to you as a beta tester, what do you think is the best overall >setting? I have no best setting. Any time a programmer implements a new function into a program, you need a new style. if you want to find a best style, you must give the programmer 1000 Euro and tell him he shall drive into holidays next 3 weeks. and when he comes back you have a best style. it does not work if the programmer changes the program in those 3 weeks.
