That is true.

It's hard to draw a conclusion from those games. The book doesn't
make hundreds of points of difference and the programs aren't all
that far apart either. I agree with you on that. So whoever wins
has a lot to do with luck.

You used the word 'evidence' earlier but that's severely misplaced.
It becomes evidence when it's statistically significant. Before that,
I wouldn't put any faith in it.
