Yep, BC, we've proved your point, but why not add one more data point? Overall Stanford is 40-29-1 versus WSU. So Leach's 4-game win streak is very impressive. The only longer WSU streak was in the late '50s/early '60s, when they won 8 in a row versus Stanford.
I'm still standing by my earlier statement that I don't think that Leach's overall system, including all phases of the game, is light years better than Shaw's, but it's great to have the additional context that shows that Leach's results were much better than the historical norm at WSU.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
