Even more so it is appropriate to point out that this victory is strictly limited to the specific terms of this particular bet (and strictly speaking not even that, since the terms were changed after the bet was placed), and do not provide statistically sound evidence of progress on compositionality. PS: in the end, Alexander claims that his experiment "provide(s) some evidence that simple scaling and normal progress are enough for compositionality gains". So he does in fact go significantly beyond just claiming victory on this particular bet.
