I am starting to feel like there is a hidden >agenda behind these "theories" :) I believe these results. I know from myself how difficult it is to play against a computer. I don't know why people keep thinking humans are machines. OK then, so humans CAN be proud or good actors, or big experts at things, but all humans are basically the same, under their clothes. Younger people have more conentration, and energy, so that can also help. But a great GM title with great dizzying pride, doesn't impress computers. I already learned that lesson a long time ago. Now, the computers are able to teach that to the top human players, too. It's the same idea as was with me. IF the top human would be trying very very hard, and belittle himself alot, and demand to familiarize himself with the computer thourougly, beforehand, then, he might stand a slightly better chance. But he must really look after his health to be able to keep alert and on his metal throught a match, or even a game. There's no magic. Chess is probably more of a sport than we used to think.
