Sorry, too late. ((asked if he would still prop the position)) Nobody has addressed this position (to me) since I wrote the article and I had forgotten about it. Upon revisiting it, I’ll have to admit that 4/2*/1* still looks wrong to me and if it arose at the table I would prop it, but I don’t prop positions that other people have had a chance to roll out on modern bots. Even if the rollout is mistaken (or have the theoretically wrong side but can somehow overcome it by superior play), most of my potential upside is gone. In 1997, I was more willing to gamble against (less reliable) rollouts.

My translation:

People sucked a lot more in '97 so I could play any prop giving up such a small amount of theoretical pointage because I rock.
