Of course not!
Turning PB on helps if you have 2 computer and thus the programs can use their
CPUs during the opponent's thinking time.
But for me it's very clear that if prog A beats prog B on 2 identical computers
with PB on, prog A will beat prog B on one computer with PB off.
If you have a counter example, give proof of what you say. Give a reproducible
experiment we could conduct in order to support your argument.
