I absolutely disagree. Different test conditions _must_ produce different
results, especially when talking about a rating diff of mere +/- 10.
Anything else would be a miracle, because it would demand a completely equal
scaling between different time controls, different book/position setups
and last not least different ponder setting.
Also talking about ok or not ok is nonsense here. It is simply irrelevant,
because none of them cannot be _not_ ok, if the setup is properly.
Your premises are wrong.
