I imagine operator skills could have been a factor in the blitz-WCCC(?).

Well, that happens.
It doesn't take more than 1-2 unlucky games to drop you out of the lead.

Considering the randomness of booklines and who meets who in swiss and what
colors you get to play...

Let's just say I'd be surprised if one of these tournaments actually ended up
with all engines according to their proper strength relations. It's practicly
guaranteed that some will over or under perform.
