The opponent on slower hardware has a precisely known rating.  Playing the two
programs on equal hardware would have zero value except for entertainment.  If
they were to do that, I would question their sanity or at least their ability to
do math.  Fortunately, they know exactly what they are doing.  This same
question comes up each and every time, so I wish a FAQ could be produced.

But I am too lazy to write it.
