It's a traditional attempt to please the losing side telling them they weren't actually that bad but in the end really should've won. It's consistent with the statement of making value count for less and less (see: value measures power. it started counting for less when xp was implemented. xp is a measure of how well you can hit bigger targets. this is a downwards spiral where it's innately easier for less powerful people to do this, since there are more people above them).
The point of the system seems to be to construct a ranking that is based upon some narrow definition of "activity" and "military ability" but one that also means that a powerful alliance can never win simply due to the fact that losers really need this for comfort.
