Reading this verdict

Overlap
Two entries are only meaningfully apart when their confidence intervals do not overlap. A higher number with an overlapping interval is a coin flip, not a win.
Holdout
The public score can be gamed by tuning to visible cases. A gap between public and holdout is the tell.
