Subject: These Hiarcs7.32-Fritz 5.32 results

In the past week or so I have seen results posted from F5.32-H7.32 games
that appear to be played on 2 computers.  These games suggest H7.32 is
better but not overwhelmingly so  i.e. the 20 game match at game/20 min
reported by Chessbase. That ended 11-7, with 2 draws in favor of H7.32-
an ELO difference of 80 pts.
Then I see a number of posts reporting games apparently played in the
same computer in engine v engine mode. These results show H7.32 winning
almost every game.
Now I am perfectly willing to accept the proposition that H7.32 is 80
pts stronger than F5.32. But I just cannot believe that H7.32 is 200+
pts stronger. Does anyone really believe that?
Is engine v engine meaningful as a demonstration of the playing strength
of the competing programs?
