This observation of Fritz vs GM's at 40/2 can be countered with your own words.
You've reprimanded folks for them saying, Deep Thought/Blue did not
win all the ACM events by correctly pointing out that how could
they have won them all when they were not entered in them all. (Recall
your argument to the statement "Deep Blue has not won a recent computer
event") Well ... ?

How can Fritz achieve this if it is not entered in 40/2 GM encounters?

Yes I agree that DT's GM rating based on the 24 consecutive games is a great
accomplishment. Why the comparison to Fritz ?
