By this logic I can change to game in one nanosecond and get 1.2e12 games.  Or
it is just a strawman invented by you with no connection to what I had to say.

I agree

I prefer the decision to play 120/0, but 10 games is not enough to make a
logical statistical decision about strength.  Therefore, I suggested either lots
of patience or G/40.

If you are going to spend hours and hours of computer time, it would be nice if
you could draw some conclusion from the data when you are finished.
