of course you are right, this single position does not say anything like every
other single position does not say much. The problem is: when there are so MANY
positions that show similarities then one get suspicious. That's the current
problem with Fafis. As long you do not have the source you can never be
absolutely sure. (Most of the cases, Deep <9> was the exception here, because it
simply behaves everywhere similar to Pepito)
