It's not strange but I also wouldn't make it so strong. Rather than some "major breakthrough" he breathed a bunch of new life into the Italian and it's been a mainstay in top level chess again since then.
Also, I doubt he got better positions in every single game. But he did in many. I think in most of those exhibition events he plays he demonstrates he would be a very strong player if he came back. He couldn't compete for the title, though.
