A good general indicator of the validity of such claims is mostly proportional
to the amount of proof to back them up, for all i know Hiarcs might be the new
top dog when it comes out and to some extend i wouldn't be terribly surprised if
that happens, personally i find it unlikely though.

Hiarcs 10 has been in the works for quite some time now and very few results
have been reported that indicates whether it's strenght has been greatly
improved or if we will just see the "usual" 50 elo increase, so nobody really
know besides the author and the testers.

Whenever i read such claims (made in the thread you mention) i write it off as
someone who is a fan of Hiarcs and might be a bit fed up with all the attention
the new top engine/s gets and wants to stir the pot out of frustration or just
to provoke.
