If you take sequence of 1 or 2 games you can easily find negative score for rybka so you do not need to say it is chess960 to justify rybka's loss.

People have spent years working on a good book for one position - the starting position.

Doing this for 960 starting positions doesn't seem straight forward to me.

It is, you just do what you did for the starting position of normal chess. What must be done is known, it just would take too much time.
