My post is not related to the drop in the rating of my personality.

3 Shredder personalities were already tested and I do not expect to see 3 fruit
personalities even if someone else suggest new personality for fruit(of course
even if I suggest another personality for fruit in the future I do not expect it
to be tested by the CEGT because I understood from the previous response that
even testing my personality was a special favour to the author inspite the fact
that the CEGT testers do not like to test personalities and one of them stopped
testing).


Unlike Dr Wael Deeb I never claimed that my personality is clearly better than
the default or better than the default and the fact that I asked questions is
result of the fact that the results seemed to be against previous results of
CEGT and also against previous result of other people that caused me to suspect
something may be wrong.

I did not attack other people when I asked to check if something may be wrong.
It is clearly logical to suspect that something may be wrong in case that there
is a big drop and I do not remember a big drop in shredder eccentric and it was
behind the default personality from the start.

Note that people also should check if there was not something wrong in the first
games when fruit did very well.
