Actually, John has never stated that his tools are in fact things
which he himself wrote.  For all we know, they could be publically
available microbenchmarks from any number of sources (we know that
Larry's tools are one of his sources).

I will agree that the way John states it implies he has tools you
don't, as opposed to him having tools you don't care about, but
could get.
