The CSS had the habit to use a fritz standard.
Their assumption 1 seemed to be from certain persons:
a) no product can be as good as fritz
Deduction from A:
b) a new program when it is kicking butt and winning everything nearly,
can therefore be *nearly* as good as fritz, but never better.
I remember 1998 when Nimzo1998 was wiping the floor with other programs and won
everything and was clearly the best for a short while. The reviewer in CSS
concluded then it was "nearly as good as the fritz".
