That's not reasonable, Matthias. For an ordinary user of chessprograms a
baseless accuse and a perfect proof will look very similar, if presented in a
similar way. For example a non-programmer might be able to judge whether a
conclusion supports the accuse of cloning, but not if the conclusion itself is
correct. Just think of a perfect proof in Suaheli :)
