I think this part is rather important. One can understand it as one or both of:

a) The drivers did a bad job at developing the car/ providing feedback/ testing

or

b) The value of repeated runs of short test sections where drivers know every stone is limited - This would also explain why some people were so sure Citroen would decimate all after looking at their test vids in December.
