Totally nonsense. On the servers people play with different machines and their
own so-called "tuned" books, sometimes even with own settings. It often occurs
that their "tuning" has an opposite effect and hurts the engine's play and thus
the results. So how can you say that such results have more weight than playing
on equal hardware and with the delivered opening book?
