The fact are that it is very easy to make improvement if you are a good
programmer(see Fabien programmer of Fruit when inspite of the fact that Fruit
has bugs it is number 2 or number 3 in the world and I feel sure that it will be
better than Shredder9 if Fabien only fix some search bugs)

There are 2 possibilities:
1)The programmers of the commercial programs do not work hard enough
2)The programmers of the commercial programs are clearly inferior programmers
relative to Fabien

I believe that 2 is correct(it is also possible that 1 is correct or both are
correct)
