Doesn't worry me either way to be honest.
Under normal match conditions, any of the GMs who were candidates would get wasted, but normal chess is always good to watch.
Under the match conditions agreed, it could be a closer battle though.

Then get better! Normal match conditions is the best way to go, or you get a circus act.

I'm sure the Rybka people would be happy to play under normal conditions if they could get a GM to agree to it. Unless you're prepared to pay a lot of money even if the GM loses, they don't seem to want to play. Even with a guaranteed prize, Kramnik got an advantage in conditions.
