Almost every conclusion you see anyone make in this field is a result of one or
more of the following:

1) marketing
2) wishing
3) guessing

I've seen all three invoked in this particular case.

Personally, I would guess that it is true, since a contest between two computers
is different than a contest between a computer and a human, and decisions are
rewarded or punished differently.
