That was a "long" time ago where tablebases and learning features were not as
common. And IIRC there was a limited number of games, but I'm not sure about
that. So the reasoning is perfectly legitimate.

I suppose you're thinking of the enthusiast tournament in Germany? In that case
it was possible to avoid the unfortunate sideeffects of missing learning and
book diversity. Not to mention the opportunity of the operator to use a book of
his own and special settings. The premises of comparison are therefore
non-existant.
