May sounds like a conspiracy theorist to you but it is true.  Normally I 
can win one out of 4 or 5 games.   After preventing it from phoning 
home, I can play 10 or 20 games and not win one.  Let it phone home and 
we are back to one out of 4 or 5 games.

If this happened once, I would say that it is probably,  but it has 
happened multiple times.
