Of course SSDF is overrated. For the simple reason that they pretend to have Elo
taken from human chess. But this is just wrong.

They get test results but these results are a product of imbreeding. Machine
play machines. You just cant conclude anything from that for human chess. The
point is simply that no human super GM with over 2600 Elo would have such
weaknesses we all know from CC. You know that, Uri.
