| P.S.: Thus it would be best to present a short and convincing argument.

If you don't consider the fact that 'the side having piece A beats that
having piece(s) B 90% of the time' a convincing argument to value A
higher than B, I don't really see what could convince you.

But the point really is that Derek ASKS you to provide such a version of
SMIRF to help him conduct an experiment he thinks is interesting. So it
should not really matter if the piece values here request are CORRECT or
not, because this is exactly what he is trying to test. The question is if
you want to HELP him searching for the truth, by providing him what he
needs to conduct this search...
