If for example optimal play is a deep narrow line there is a very good 
chance that such statistics derived from weak players are completely 
meaningless.

So far, the chess programmers have failed to make a decent 9x9 Go program.

Personally I think that at the current level of computer Go 9x9 is very 
interesting. After all beginners start on 9x9, not on 19x19. If we 
cannot even build a decent 9x9 player how can we ever hope to succeed on 
19x19?
