Scoring question, Alliance VS Cultural

I was playing my first game a couple days ago. I had 2 allies (Torian & someone else), against the evil D. (Yor and someone else had died earlier). Tiny map.
I had the last planet of D surrounded, I sent in my transport and took them out. Final score, a whopping 9.
Out of curiosity, I loaded the game, cancelled my alliance, and then took the D out. I had already been spread wide over the whole map, and my culture was spread all over my alliance partners. I think I already had the timer well on it's way to the cultural victory.
So a few turns later I win the game, cultural victory this time, and my score is 3500 or something similar..
Now I'm wondering, why 9 for alliance, but with the exact same map, I got 3500 for a cultural victory? I'm often fairly close to all the types of victories at the end of my normal games, perhaps the scoring should be more so that the type of victory doesn't matter nearly as much?
