If Arsan is +5.0 against engine x but loses because of time
problem, are you going to save this as lost for Arsan in positional
learning? I think that you should not save game result in this case.
If you do positional learning like many do by storing the search result of a
positon at a given depth, and then filling the hashtable with this data at
startup, it will avoid bad lines and favour good ones.
