Subject: Manual vs. autoplayer

I note that H7.32 scored 22.5-17.5 over F5.32 at 40/2. However I believe
several posts have shown F5.32 outperforming H7.32 at 40/2 in manually
played games(Shep's recent tournament comes to mind though I well understand
that it was only 10 or 11 games for each program).
Playing a game at 40/2 manually is so time consuming that there may never
be enough such games to permit any definite conclusions, but is there not
a suggestion that in some cases autoplayer results may differ from manual
results?
I do not want to be in Thorsten's corner on this (although there seems to
be plenty of room there) but this is not the first time that someone has
raised the question of whether the autoplayer can somehow affect the play
of a program.
Does anyone think that it is possible that, for example, H7.32 is slightly
stronger than F5.32 on autoplayer, but that F5.32 is slightly stronger
in manual games?
