The test is biased because you are taking ten positions you already know Snowie got wrong in its evaluation. Since they are not identical programs with identical training, wouldn't Extreme rate to do better on positions that Snowie was wrong on. If you took ten positions that Extreme had a poor evaluation on and tested them on Snowie, I would be surprised if Snowie did not do a better job on most of them. Again, the bias in your methodology is that you are testing positions that you already know Snowie failed on. It is impressive that Extreme did as well as it did on the positions and strongly indicates that Extreme may be a better program, but it is not conclusive yet. More unbiased testing needs to be done.
