Many many many years ago the SSDF people played against computers to establish the initial ratings. Since then computer vs computer games have been based on those ratings, (with one that I know of devaluation of about 100 ponts in about 1990). I would say "the SSDF ratings have a statistically tenuous link to FIDE ELO ratings."
