Stevie: I just look at it as if Ed IS playing, just under a different name. After all, if he is going to test his formula, it wont work (according to him) if anyone knows what he is doing and tries to purposly sabotage him.
I wouldnt worry, his shill will lose, no formula in the world can gaurantee victory, it just is not possible. Although I think it would have a better success rate against "good" players than agains "bad" players...
