Nothing DB did was impossible to explain. The logs were clear. The questionable moves were not questionable after seeing the logs for them (which were released soon after the match, not the entire set as we now have, but the ones for the point where he claimed that something fishy went on.) IBM could have accused him of beating up his mother. It would have been _impossible_ for him to refute that. And it would have been impossible for IBM to prove it also. As a result, they didn't make that kind of claim with _zero_ evidence to support them. You just _don't_ do that. But Kasparov did. If you follow the evidence, you end up at a jerk's doorstep. Nothing complicated about it it all.
