So what? You make it sound as if working on the hardware is of less
value than working on the eval or the seach-engine. I heard similar
arguments concerning Crafty. Spending a lot of time into a parallel
search is not of less value than spending time in your eval. (IMHO)

Following your logic I could say that "Kasparov has great results
to his credit but he has had great positional understanding. The following
players with equal positional understanding are as good or better."

<insert list of some famous chess players :)>

Btw: the conclusion that Fritz6 (or any other engine) on equal HW
than DB would play as good or better is a wild guess at best. Or
can you back up your conclusion with some data? [With "some data"
I don't mean "for example in this position <....>"]

Kind regards,
