Subject: Nimzo 99A and select opponent feature

I understand that N 99 has a feature that allows it to modify its
evaluation/opening book characteristics depending on the comp opponent it is
playing. does this not mean that a different nimzo(however slightly) is playing
each time the opponent changes. This IMHO an unfair test of Nimzo's capabilities
(ie for the opponent). I would have thought that the fairest way of testing
would be a default setting(which in the programmers opinion is the best, both
for the engine as well as for the opening book) that would remain uniform
irrespective of the comp opponent.

I wonder whether the current method of testing is considered fair by the others?
