In Response To: Rollouts for Dummies (Seth)

Before anyone rants on me for recommending 108/7T as a rollout setting, let me be clear that I stressed that this setting is absolutely not good in general for determining definitively which of two close plays is best and by how much.

The objective instead is to filter out the errors that both GNU analysis and a quick rollout disagree on so as to be able to focus on the errors most likely to be true errors. If both agree, you can have higher confidence that your play was wrong and GNU's play is right, so study just those. The true magnitude of the error (and it may not even be one) cannot really be inferred from such a short rollout.
