If you sum the number of checks over 10k simulations you get this :
Code:
=== FINAL RESULTS ===
Sequential: 495816995
Prefix: 496059807
This is a bias since the prefix method wins most of the time, meaning it is the best choice. When the prefix method loses, it obviously generates more keys because it is assumed that the target was omitted. And the goal is to find your best option to win and not who loses worse.
I think being first without taking into account how much faster you are is not reflecting the stastistical reality.
But it's ok to disagree

The times when the prefix method wins, it traverses fewer keys than the sequential method; therefore, by common sense, it saves computational power.
Statistically, prefixes are the best option most of the time.
Similarly, the overall statistics are more or less equal when considering total traversals, both won and lost. However, prefixes still yield the highest success rate. There's no need to overcomplicate it.
It not complicated. Nor is it a bias. Those are actual numbers out of your script.
On average, both methods require the same number of steps to reach a solution.
