Why are you flamed, Fernando? Was it you? Here is my 2 cents: They are competing to find the champion. They have subjectif and objectif methods. They have SSDF, World Championship, testing games, testing positions, many methods, also feelings, also reinforce the purchase decision, also friend of programmer, or programmer make propaganda for fame and glory. This is always argument because so many methods and no science. Can be no science. Just great murky pool. For top ones it is always also so personal. Top ones are in their programs. Indistinguishable. This is problem for soul. For not so top ones is also problem. These have Cassius with "mean and hungry look". You know what I mean? When he turned on you, the young one? Result is argue about champion goes forever. So easy to make loser. Then suddenly all turn on loser. Especial all Cassius. >Beside, you expect some moderation in the way the erasing is >made if, anyway, they think they must erase. The moderate is eliminate. Where ends it?
