  Possibly, but i expect if black offered to play the ruy again he would have
played for a win.  Since the caro was played and he didn't have more info on how
fritz played the caro from previous games, it wasn't worth the risk to play on
when "a bird in hand is better than two in the bush" an even result is not
losing .  In professional chess it is professional to do what is most reasonable
he doesn't have to prove anything else.
