Let them each play 200 games against Shredder first, and then try the experiment. Then give them the modern anticomputer strategy information which is usually ignored by top GMs when playing against the computers. And repeat the experiment. Then let them play another 200 games and repeat the experiment. Capablanca was clearly the strongest of the group. But then again, he was supposedly not very motivated to study, so it would be hard to say if he would do the best of the bunch. It would be a more interesting experiment than counting how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, at least.
