You are correct about this statement it is too early to assume anything yet, and
based on only one type of ending where the rook is in disadvantage vs four
pawns, the possibility of the same type of ending to occur twice is very
limitted. But my settings reflected a more realistic value whenever a rook vs
three pawns ending was reached, in my mini match between CMQueen++ vs CMNimzo
732.
