It's all about expectations -- at this point, we don't expect any SE to say at move 10: "This is a half-point win for white." ( I recall a pro making such an observation; I was willing to accept his expertise on the matter. )
But if it says at move 160: "White wins by 5 points", it should be in the ballpark - or at least not so far out of the ballpark that a 16 kyu player wonders whether it might be playing in the wrong field entirely.
