What if Crafty was even slower? Maybe autoplayer decided to even the
disadvantages. It's impossible to determine the exact reason for the result if
you only have one source.

You can do whatever you want, but it isn't logic. I'm going to repeat myself
again. Simple statistics, sample size and the non comparative nature of the data
doesn't allow for that kind of speculation. Speculations, beliefs, thoughts or
opinions doesn't change that.

Then you don't know if there's anything wrong with the games. Why are you
bothering me with your assumptions and beliefs, if you don't know anything about
the results whatsoever. If I wanted to be reassured about nothing I would send
an e-mail to Chessfun and wait forever for a reply (sic.). Oh well.

Sincerely,
Mogens
