If anything, it will prevent rating inflation to continue to test against a
known opponent.

Really?  On what do you base this opinion?  You can always make improvements to
any scientific methodology.  But without question the SSDF creates the best and
most scientific and systematic testing of chess programs.  No one else even
comes close.

If you have ideas for improvements, why not say what they are?  Saying something
like "they could improve their methods" has no value because it is vacuuous.  Of
course it is true, but provides no information.
