Why such an absurd position as to claim it should count despite machine crashes?

Because it does not matter *why* the outcome was as it was.

If a GM defaults because he does not feel well enough to continue, does that
invalidate the loss?  No.  And neither should this one.

No cries of "mess-up... do-over" should be allowed.
