Tags are auto-assigned, but I guess it differs in Adam's case since NIC 
is a bit different. Below test will help to understand if it is the root 
cause of very different expectations. If pass rate will be close to 
mine, I'll simply update TRC database to share expectations for mine NIC 
and NIC used by Adam.
