Die-hard Deeper Blue fans?  I find it hard to believe that people who, at the
very least, seem smart enough to know better, could seriously entertain the
thought that a machine that played six games and died deserves to be mentioned
in the same breath as a man who has been beating the stuffings out of the
world's best for the better part of two decades, and somehow keeps getting
better.  I've never lost a boxing match (never had one either).  Does that make
me a  better boxer than Muhammad Ali, who did?
  Defeating someone in a brief, non-title match by the narrowest possible margin
and then vanishing into thin air doesn't sound like a good way for Deeper Blue
to make its claim on the World Title.  Maybe there are some die-hard Deeper Blue
fans out there who found something profound in the result of that exhibition
match two years ago.  Flat-earthers aren't exactly extinct, either.
