That is even less than the error margin provides. So only non-significant 10 points make the difference between #5 and #2! Don't forget that! - The #2 - #6 are in a range of 11 points! For #4, #5 and #6 only ONE point decides. This proves again what I say since ages: The top 5 (or this time top 6, there is a small gap to #7, but this is also only 27 points...) programs are of equal strength, none of them stronger than the others.
