Not a thing.  Only questions to be answered are these:

1.  How many games did it take to find a "win" after 2. Na3?!  ??

2.  Were any takebacks used?

3.  Can it be repeated under controlled conditions, such as playing against
a program on ICC where the program (and its analysis/etc) are remote and can
not be seen?

I would not claim that any or all of those were done.  But I would suspect that
at least question 1 is relevant and perhaps question 2.
