Nice! I agree, that is interesting. Benham is known for being pretty
resistant to strategy in general, so I'm wondering if that strategy
resistance forces the remaining weakness to be concentrated around easy
strategies.

Could you try a method from each of the two other categories, and see if
the trivial strategy is so overwhelmingly succcessful on these too?

E.g. Smith//Plurality (Or Smith,Plurality) from the extremely easy to
manipulate category, and Minmax from the intermediate-to-high one.
