Subject: what type of result is significant in 100 game match

My question is based on your experience what is the biggest result that A beat B
in match of 100 games(Noomen match or match based on other positions like Albert
Silver's postions) but still A is not better than B against other programs.

Of course with opening books it is possible that one engine has a book that kill
the book of B when it is not better against other programs so we can know
nothing from a match with original books.

I read claim that the better chessmaster personality against chessmaster
personalities was not better against other programs but I do not know what is
the result that the winner got that still it was not better and I believe that
result of 90-10 always mean that the winner is better from practical point of
view and the question is what is the minimal result that you can be sure based
on practical experience that the winner is better.
