Just extreme >hyperbole of out-of-context discussions. Which is typical... First, my apologies if my previous answer appears harsh to you, I respect your work and trajectory. Sure you're know a lot about DB, but the apparent (and well distinguished) and only merit of DB is relative at their hardware approach, comparing to micros. Howewer, the data provided by Chris Carson about DT performance vs. humans is only average, not impressive in thruth. I think that the debate between DB and competitors, must be centered, not between results and performance (by stupid that appears this), but between which evaluation function is better, by obvious reasons. I don't think that those of best micro programs be worse.
