Magriel vs Gnubg

Hi, i have read the magriel's books which are (at least here in france) considered as the bible of backgammon. I'm working in parallel with Gnubg. Naturely, i was intersted to see what Gnubg think about the plays of the books. So i have set up a couple of positions from the books and i have tried to analyse them with gnu. I am very surprised (and also very desapointed) to see that the best moves are most of the time not the same at all. The most easy example is for the opening moves like 6-4 by making the 2 point which is not even mentionned in the book! (5-3 by making the 3 point is mentionned but not recommed at all), and which are considered as the best moves for gnubg. Also a lot of other stuff about slots, counterplay, etc...are not the best moves for gnu. What do you think about that? I am really desapointed...even if i know i have learned a lot anyway. Are these books no longer up to date? If yes, which good books are? Thanks for your responses
