I'm a little bit suspicious of this. They're not explicit about the scoring but taking the average of top 3 results is a huge advantage to those that played more games.
Diplomacy is a bit of a choose your own adventure game too. Like there's an objective criteria (average SCs at the agreed end of game) but the human tendency is to try and win individual games. Humans will often choose to play sub-optimal strategies for better entertainment value.
I think the real accomplishment here is the ability to fool humans into thinking their not playing a bot. That's an impressive thing to do even these days.
