Oh, but you need at least 20000 games before you can decide that it is better.

No
If the change is big you need clearly less games.

Note that I think that big changes are possible also at the level of Crafty
that is clearly weak compared to rybka.

Rybka 32 bit can beat Movei with 1:10 time handicap and Movei is slightly better than Crafty on one processor based on rating lists.

I agree, but it doesn't seem to be clear to Bob Hyatt.

I dont know how many games it takes to see how much stronger it is, but it only takes a few seconds to see that Alfil 8 beta does NOT access EGTB as Alfil 7.6 does.
