It seems to me that that someone can prove that the configuration mattered by pitting a correctly configured Stockfish against the configuration used by AlphaZero, and see what the outcome is for 100 games. I haven't read the paper, but some of the constraint choices seem odd to me (1 minute max per move?).

Unfortunately, AlphaZero is private and no one has access to either the code (as commercial product) or resources it needs to run (TPUs). So, only Google can do this experiment.

OP is suggesting properly-configured-stockfish versus how-alphazero-configured-stockfish for 100 games.

The paper suggest that the more time you give Alphazero, the stronger it becomes too.
