Suppose there is a match of 240 games and the result after 50 games is 50-0 and
after 240 games the result is 120-120.

What is going to be your opinion in that case?

Are you going to guess that the leader did better opening preperation?

Another possible guess in that case is that the second program had a better
learning function and they learned from the games to change their evaluation
function or to do better extensions and it may be also both of these factors
together with some luck.
