These aren't computer-specific blind spots; humans train on life-and-death problems in order to gain an advantage over other humans also.

This is good news and nothing to worry about. You are basically
saying mogo has a bug, and if this bug is fixed then we can expect even
better scalability. So any success here can be viewed as a lower
bound on it's actual rating.
If a nakade fixed version of mogo (that is truly scalable) was in the
study, how much higher would it be in your estimation?
