I think that you forget improvement factor.
The public version do not play in the tournament.

You have no knowledge about myfute and it may surprise all and take the title.
You have no knowledge to know that Junior did not improve significantly more
than shredder.

I guess that it is not the case but I can be sure of nothing.

When all the versions are private you have no way to be sure which private
program is the best.

You also forget preperation against specific opponent that is not relevant in
the ssdf but is relevant in WCCC.
