The one in first can more reliably win races however.

You cannot infer that based on the results of the race...that's literally the entire point I am making. The 1st place car might blow up in the next race, the 10th place car might finish 10th place for the next 100 races.

If the article were measuring HTTP response times and found that AWS's average response time was 50ms and GCP's was 200ms, and both returned 200s for every single request in the test, would you say AWS is more reliable than GCP based on that? Of course not, it's asinine.
