I think the main problems that I see with the ssdf games are:

1)Big part of the games are not public so it is impossible to check if there are
mistakes in the games(I found a mistake in some games when Junior was slowed
down by a significant factor because the tester used another application in the
same time and the tester repeated the games but unfortunately it is impossible
to check if there are mistakes in secret games.

2)The "learning" problem.

Some programs have learning function and some programs(mainly old programs) have
not learning functions.
I found that Fritz5(p200)  won rebel8(p90) the same game 5 times.

I am sure that Fritz5 could earn a lot of rating if it played 400 games against
Rebel8 instead of 40 games.

The rating of a program is dependent on the question how many games every
program play against others and is dependent on the opponents.
