Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 4
We Went Back leans harder on variance: Loop changes are unknown until observed once
Optimization5 vs 6
We Went Back leans harder on optimization: Noticing loop differences and deducing the exit is the game
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
