One of the reasons that Poker players prefer tournaments is because it induces them to move away from perfect Nash equilibrium play and into being exploitable, as someone who plays unexploitable play simply doesn't make it to the money as someone who does. Winning 51% of the time means nothing when you need to be in the top 10% to earn anything back. It seems like just looking at ACPL isn't looking at this correctly. If someone makes a mistake, and loses some centi-pawn, but it induces an even larger mistake in their competitor, that wasn't a mistake, it was a risk.
