If you are referring to the fact that 18.13 got a 1% higher score than 17.14:
6 Crafty 18.13               : 2544   92  82    50    34.0 %   2659   28.0 %
7 Crafty 17.14               : 2536   85  81    50    33.0 %   2659   34.0 %

Also consider that this also is not proof of superiority of 18.13 over 17.14.
The error margin leaves this [cough] "clearly inconclusive"

So your intutition may yet be correct after all (as far as which is stronger).
But to imagine that 17.14 will always be on top is probably unrealistic, since
the strength is obviously very close.  I have seen other results that show 18.13
superior and also other results that show 17.14 is superior.  I think we do know
this:
18.13 and 17.14 are two of the better crafty versions and both are very strong.
