I guess it depends what perspective you are coming from as to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. You obviously think a fluke is a bad thing. I think it would be exciting to see an engine that wouldn't normally be a contender to be in the hunt. I believe a lot of other people share this view, since people get excited when (for example) Quark has a chance to win going into the last round, in a strong CCT4. Plus it gives more incentive for people to join if there are fewer rounds, for more than one reason. Besides, if you are hoping to avoid a fluke (which to me means that you want the best engine to win), you will need a LOT of rounds to really determine the "best".
