There is not logical simetry between winning with some device and losing because a failure of it. The normal thing for a device is good operation, the malfunctioning is an accident. Only with the average good functioning you have a measure of what a progran can do, not with the accident. I insist that a defeat because of the accident must be taken into account in a tornament, just bad luck as the flu of a human, but if we are doing an experiment, and that is what Chris is doing, it has not sense to include not operatives episodes of the experiment.
