It is your belief that it is a mistake to trust a 10-0 result. Statistical
theory, however, disagrees with you. Guess who I trust ;)

You do have a good point, however, on what conclusion one can draw from this
result. I would conclude that engine A will continue to beat engine B with a
high degree of confidence. That says nothing about how A and B would do against
engines C through Z.
