before I look like a total [censored], does the data GUARANTEE that he is a winning player? let's say 99.99999999% sure.

No according to the math it there is maybe about 5% (not trivial) chance that he is a losing player. Then we have anecdotal evidence from some well respected players that would suggest that he is in fact a losing player.

I haven't played DERB, so I can't tell one way or the other. But I have in the past seen good players write of succesfull players because they played an untraditional strategy, so I reserve my judgement.
