I'm sure bruce, myself et al implied this.

I quote (emphasising) from my own post in the "Small number statistics..."
thread:

"Referring *****only to results and not to game-content*****, I've heard 2-1
referred to as "crushing".  Silly when the smallest perturbation in favour of B
would have drawn matters.
Ditto with the 1.5-0.5  40/2 result from Ischia..."

Game content gives the important clues. Have you seen the sets of 10 0 / 5 5
games making up the following matches (on a 150MHz or 166MHz machine):

O'Donnell(IM) v MCP7   0.5 - 9.5
O'Donnell(IM) v CG5    0.5 - 9.5

Kind regards
