AFAIK there was nothing particularly sinister about that --- they
didn't have time to run a large number of different tests, so they
chose ones that seemed most important. They certainly didn't try
a bunch of tests and then publish only the most favorable; the two
tests used were selected at the beginning of the project, before
anyone knew what the results would look like.
