I question the assertion that MWC difference ranks players more accurately than variance reduction.

MWC difference should eliminate all the "luck," whereas variance reduction won't eliminate all the "luck." In that sense it's a more "accurate" measure of skill. (Note scare quotes everywhere.)

Of course MWC difference doesn't account for a "lucky game" in the sense that I am faced only with decisions that are easy or that I am good at making accurately. But no method that I can think of can account for that kind of "luck."
