I don't think that was what was being measured.
The evaluation was a comparison of:
>...MYCIN's choice of antimicrobials with the choices of nine human prescribers for ten test cases of meningitis.
In that evaluation:
>...MYCIN received an acceptability rating of 65% by the evaluators; the corresponding ratings for acceptability of the regimen prescribed by the five faculty specialists ranged from 42.5% to 62.5%.
The fact that the acceptability ratings of the five faculty specialists ranged from 42.5% to 62.5% implies that this isn't a trivial problem.
