The conventional wisdom is the opposite - study of this position has led to more draws and better performance by black. It's not really borne out by the statistics here: White's advantage has slipped to 52-53% (can't see an overall figure for this but you can eyeball the centroid of the graph under "Past vs Future performances"). On the other hand the "draw death of chess" isn't really a thing at blitz games between 1800s. Perhaps 5% of games are drawn, compared to 80% of elite level classical games. So this is not a good data set to study this effect. It's still interesting for some of its other investigations, though, eg looking for whether some variations increase Whites advantage.
