I agree completely with you. Ed's decision to accept the draw was very
sportsmanlike. A few moves earlier Ed had offered a draw, so it could have ended
at this point. Now the game has the same result, with a few moves more. It
doesn't matter, as the match was won anyway.

And: In one of their matches Kasparov also accepted a draw offer in a winning
position vs. Karpov, knowing he would win the match and the world title. The
goal was to win the match today and not to make it 4-2.
