You can't argue with the results. Fact is, the intel cpu failed to gain even 30% of the total vote. Now had it been 70% of the vote people would have said "yeah ok that's fair enough", but 30% is way lower than what would be expected.

There is obviously something there making people believe the AMD system was performing better, for them. More than 2/3rds of the players didn't believe the AMD system was any worse - that's worth something regardless of how bad BD benchmarks.
