"I still don't trust that the bots are close enough to perfect for us to be able to take their word on opening plays unconditionally, especially when the equity difference is as low as 0.010"

Bot answers are the best information available until better information becomes available. But for these close decisions, we must remember that as unperfect as bots will be, human players will generally be even more unperfect. Difference in equity due to errors made by humans in future play from each choice will likely dwarf and dominate the bot stated equity difference. It is easy to simply memorize "this is the correct play" and forget the alternatives - losing sight of the fact that they are nearly identical and that what is correct over the board can vary depending on who the two players are and what they ate for breakfast.
