Thats O.K.

There are two fairly orthogonal aspects:
1. If LM78 cannot be recognized as IT87, and IT87 is misrecognized as LM87
then of course IT87 should have higher confidence.
2. If two chips have the same confidence, none should be preffered and the
choice should be left to user (look at your motherboard).
