Frank, History might give a *clue*. You might suspect of a new programmer with a strong program. You probably won't suspect of an old time well known chess programmer. But a proof is a proof, no matter if you had a clue to search for the proof or if you simply found it by chance. That's the misunderstanding, I think. Eugenio is well known and most people wouldn't suspect of him, but now that you have a proof, history and clues are not relevant anymore.
