Congratulations. You've written the most ridiculous and over-the-top post in this whole thread - and there've been some doozies. Can you seriously mention cheating at chess and 'sex crime' in the same breath? Are you really that invested in the outcome here?
You miss the point.

Fat Lady is really talking about the chance or reoffending rather than the seriousness of the actual crime.

In a "sex crime" the chance of reoffending is high whereas, say, the "murder" of your spouse in the heat of the moment is a crime unlikely to be repeated although objectively more serious than a "minor" sex crime or "cheating" at chess.

He got the point. The analogy is crap. Fat lady was talking about child molesting earlier. what is next? Rape? a Serial Murderer. Well, A Serial murderer also has a high probability to recommit the crime.

People get convicted on circumstantial evidence all the time. Esp. when there is also direct evidence as there is in this case i.e. the Game Analysis of one of the strongest players on the site who was also an original Game Mod (and who's joining the Game Mods gave them great credibility from day 1).
I have a Question actually...What would be the Percentage That a 2300 + player would have the same moves as a chess program. Would it not be quite high?

a range, and it would not be a constant.

Once you start hitting over 75-80% of first choices or equivalent over many moves, you're getting beyond the percentages of Grandmasters (incl. Kasparov).

P-
we don't have absolute freedom of speech, nor do we believe in absolute freedom of speech. there are plenty of examples to cite.

okaaay, but why would anyone try to compare software vs. OTB GMs (e.g., fritz vs kasparov)? This is a correspondence site, so the %'s should be checked against players like Berliner, Oosterom etc.

modern cc players like berliner use engines. but the rhp engine detection procedure has been tested on pre-computer era cc masters, and all of them passed.

So you think players on a correspondence site routinely play better than Kasparov did OTB?

What were the match-up rates for some of the modern cc masters that failed the rhp test. How did Berliner, Oosterom, and Andersson do? What was the last top cc master to pass the test?

I have no idea what the match-up rates are, but I think what wormwood meant was that whatever the match-up rates of modern CC masters are, it won't help us as a guideline because the ICCF allows engine use.
