Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I ran a tournament using various Nets that I was told were good ones at one time or another.
Here is the result:
This certainly tells us when different nets play against each other which one is the strongest. However, that is I believe of a little interest. What ppl would like to know which one would perform the best against the latest SF or a pool of AB engines.

You are absolutely right in that an engine test only measured exactly what was measured in the experiment and only under the same conditions as the experiment. E.g. if you have different GPUs, the results could be different. If you use different time control, the results could be different. And, as you mention, it might perform differently against different competition.
But it was enough for me to prefer 68002 until I do some other test that tells me otherwise, or someone else runs a really good test that teaches everyone which net is best for more general conditions.
