It is not so stupid as you think. I remember games where one of the programs was
loosing with a -5 score and it won the game finally.

It is possible the operator thougt that the complete point was important and it
was trying to win by time out or a possible bug in the other engine.

If you think that it is so stupid to win a complete point gambling in a possible
mistake of the opponent, then your question is more stupid than I though it was.
