Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 0
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
while True: learn() leans harder on variance: Stochastic data streams add mild output noise
Optimization9 vs 8
while True: learn() leans harder on optimization: Building accurate, cheap pipelines is pure optimization
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
