My point is that you can learn from watching games more than from watching only results because from watching only results you cannot see that one side was lucky and from watching the scores of the programs you can see it. I do not think that you can learn which program is better if the difference is small by few games but you need less games relative to watching only results. The main reason that you cannot learn by watching few games that one program is better(even if you are a very good player and watch the main lines) is that there are wins by luck that you cannot recognize when one program is lucky to be in a position that it understands and it is possible that you get wrong impression by few games.
