What are you talking about Harald?

I did not say that Fritz would win (which by the way it did) due to the SSDF
standings. I said that assuming that Hirarcs would win was silly (which it
turned out to be).

The SSDF is a fair indicator of which programs may be at the top, but OF COURSE
anything can happen and OF COURSE, running on different hardware and
configurations will result in different stengths. When did I say otherwise?
Using the SSDF as a rough indicator as to which programs may be stronger is NOT
senseless. Using the SSDF or any other information to proclaim a winner ahead of
time (as some people have done) is senseless.
