I think what you mean, Christophe is NOT the same thing George was talking
about. What George meant I believe, is that WITHIN the set of games that he
played, Shredder 8 won "convincingly".

Naturally, that's not the same thing as saying that 20 games has MUCH if any
statistically convincing evidence.

George is just saying that within 20 flips of the coin, he got heads 10 times,
tails 4 times, and flipped the coin off into the grass and couldn't tell the
result, 6 times.

Now George knows it's time to mow the grass. :)
