Was confused about this part the last time I saw this posted online:

This sounds like op thinks the data supports the hypothesis.

One would assume a negative result for the hypothesis would occur when there is a bias in the upper left quadrant, where shortest distance and highest score intersect, and looking at the graphs in figures 8 and 9, to me, there appears a bias there.
