1)You forget that
only 2 engines are practically running.

The engine that decides between the engines use less than 0.1% of the time.

2)I do not see why do you assume that it is obvious that the result is going to
be weaker performance.

Choosing the best out of 2 weaker player can lead to better result than the best
player.

I think that this idea has more chances to be good at long time control and not
blitz.
