Whereas, in my rather limited experience of talking to pros, I have
heard criticisms of other players' performance that were but thinly
veiled. Since they tended to reinforce my views of other
professionals' playing, there is perhaps another `special case' here.
Whatever, I wouldn't care to repeat names either of criticiser or of
criticised...
