Not necessarely...giving them the same "overall weaker" book may change the paramethers and weaken more some programs indirectly...unfortunately we could not convince people that believe the opposite on this. They believe that giving the same book to everybody (or no book) should let them know how strong is the engine, but this is "unfortunately" not true as own books are part of the program. The reason is that the lastest version of the most known commercial programs have been develop taking into consideration the availability of a dedicated strong book. It is something like saying OK, lets make a war using only infantry divisions because one of the contender does not own tank divisions, airplanes etc...it is clear that the more handicapped army will be suffering more as the infantry division may have been made to operate in conjunction with the others as well...just an example...
