Neil, obviously I'm not going to use 72-game rollouts as a final verdict on anything. However, when I'm trying to decide how long a rollout to set up, I typically look at the sizes of the confidence intervals I'm getting with a low number of trials, and then I extrapolate by estimating that the confidence interval will halve whenever I quadruple the number of trials. If there's usually a sudden drop from 71 to 72 trials then that's good to be aware of when making such estimates.
