Muller's assertion that randomization used within the standard version of
Joker80 has been responsibly, appropriately limited and controlled so that
playing variety is added without measurably reducing playing strength has
been tentatively verified over a range of playing times up to 60 minutes
per move.  The limited randomized (standard) version and non-randomized
version of Joker80 have approximately equal playing strength. 

Despite the expertise and truthfulness of Muller, I could not accept his
reassurances at face value.  I had to test them.  Now, I accept them.
