Another problem with their analysis is that they assumed equal probabilities no
matter the opponent.. e.g., if I were in the tournament, the simulator would
still say hyrda only had a 50% chance to win, even though in reality it is
closer to 99.99999%.

Regardless, it is unneccesary to use a monte carlo simulator for this incorrect
task, since you could just use the multinomial distribution and get the answer
exactly.
