Welcome in the Fooled by Randomness society. 2:0 is a bit away from
significance. But don't tell this to football/soccer fans.
And, since my son asked me and I am basketball ignorant: Why are
basketball scores mostly much too close to equality? The arguments (loose
power when leading) might suggest that 2:0 might not be significant,
but relevant. I tend to argue the other way round though, in medical
statistics.
