True, the limit to the creation of chess/engine is human imagination.

Fritz 12 can't even beat old Rybka

Rybka is amazing. Even the old ver.2.2 is already strong enough for the newest Fritz 12. Salute to the Rybka programmer. Simply brilliant!!! The only drawback of Rybka is it is too slow in dealing database search function in aquarium interface.

Fritz 12 vs Rybka 3 (Human Style)

Just got my Fritz 12 from Amazon today. Tried it on my AMD Turion 64x2 TL-60, 2GB RAM HP laptop versus Rybka 3 (both without opening books). With 4 minutes blitz games, Rybka 3 shredded Fritz 12 with 3.5 -0.5 score. My personal opinion is that most of the improvement in the new Fritz are just cosmetics. There is no significant improvement in the engine strength. The tutorials are just samples and look more like advertisment for Chessbase products rather than genuine tutorials. My verdict: If your are looking for the best engine to analyse games - (still) go for Rybka 3.
