Crafty doesn't learn a thing ( I can see how this reply could fool people into believing this were the reason for the draws).

For the rest of your post - you could always test if I have a point without the insults :D

Current stockfish is poor in short calculation time eg. 1 second, increasing it plays much better

Explain the time usage (if you had disabled learning)...

There is nothing to disable - Crafty's learner is actually not learning anything sensible at all.

Crafty just used its default opening book. This is getting boring, I am out.

Well, with the book(s) available (it is 3 book files by default) it still does book learning except learning is disabled in the config file of Crafty. ('learn 0' in crafty.rc)
Also it escapes me why Crafty is allowed to use a book and get an advantage of 20 minutes, while SF is not - and of course you did not answer
most questions and instead got 'bored' when told some truths.

I am well-known for doing unfair tests, see: https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=331700

Serious? Stockfish couldn't care less than having 20 less minutes than its opponent. This would be barely measurable in any case in most "scientific" setups.
