Regarding mass media perspective, draws of both matches would be most useful
results for computer chess in general. Because it neither could  be claimed
based on results that comps are stronger or that top human players are stronger.
Which would mean, both the protesters against these 2 opinions had 50% to
complain against, and the followers of both opinions would have 50% support
each.

So - optimistically thought - it could result in only half the nonsense than
when one side would win.
