Rebel's learner has nothing to do with saving games. At the time of Rebel7 SSDF didn't want to test Rebel7 with auto232 because of the (nice?) build-in automatic abort game function in case of double games. Later on request of the SSDF I added the "A" option for Rebel7 which allows double games. The "A" option also manages the auto232 book-learner and position-learner. One year ago I took the time to download the Rebel9 games. To my surprise I noticed that most Rebel9 games weren't run with the "A" option. I stopped counting after 100 games. So this is the explanation on your above criticism on Rebel's learner. The truth is you haven't followed your own policy and did test Rebel9 without its learner.
