  Well wouldn't Rebel's result be bad even if your projection was that Rebel was
a 2450 elo player? So I don't see how you could say this is not a bad result.
The problem is we are not using consistent hardware? What if I was to use a pent
133 and lost, would you factor in that result.  Where do we draw the line as far
as counting the hardware?  I wonder after all this grandmaster challenge is
over, what can we really say? Rebel is X strong on what hardware? since there
have been alot of differnet machines used. If I was to play rebel on four
diffenent machines How can I generalize as to what rebel strength is?? Since no
consistent machine is used?  I hope you get what I am trying to say here. I
think this is another flaw in this experiment. Non consistency!
