There's nothing you can do about bugs which affect its playing level or verdict in a game. But anything problematic to do with the competing protocol, does not indicate it's true level of chess. At worsed, it should be clearly pointed out which rounds were as good as not played by which engines, so it is clear for all to see. With humans it is slightly different, if not too much. More is expected of humans. If a human did not do his daily physical workout, that could also cause him to not feel good and lose a game, or even if he did not manage to eat breakfast that morning. But we say that it's HIS problem. But a machine is helpless regarding many of these things, and if you mix in human weaknesses (with computer games), then you are interfering with computer chess.
