The statistics are telling you how it will work in the game over large trials... Statistical analysis of the algorithm will tell us nothing different than playing the beta will. We are actually saving time and effort by doing the *analysis* now...
Please, just make it an option, with the default as it is now, and has been since the beginning of Civ III.
Also, like I said before... Was the Tank v. Spearman really a problem anyway. I have never seen one example of this, in the form of a saved game. I'm sure they exist and I'm sure they are very rare. It's not broke, so please don't fix it!
