I disagree with you about the "conclude something"!

e.g.

http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/Service/Statistics/Sign_Test.html

using n+ = 5 and n- = 0

shows that this 10 game match indicates with greater than 90% probability that
Hiarcs 9.6 on an eMac G4 1.25GHz is stronger than CT2004 on a 1.6GHz Centrino at
60+30 time control. A 10 game match does not tell us by how much.

I think it is worth studying the games, I enjoyed playing through them
afterwards.
