The booklearning from (Chessbase) opponents isn't specifically orientated
towards repeating winning lines indefinitely AFAIK. The exception being Gandalf.

I also get the impression that the Ruffian book is wide and varied enough to
avoid repetitions to a certain degree.

They could also have chosen to test Ruffian as a WinBoard engine. However, lack
of learning is an engine "feature" which is tested as well as other parameters.
