It is not meant in that way. The purpose is to inform you that the tablebase was successfully probed. Since we cannot see the positions it is looking at together with the numbers (or even what side was being searched for) the stats for w/l/d are not terribly interesting. Remember, it is not just probing the root position, but also farther down the tree.
