"Because only positions that at leas one bot/level played were rolled, there are surely a few that were not roll and that all bots have missed. But I would think it should be rather low."

I suspect that this is in fact the dominant source of error in current bot play. If it were low enough to ignore, then we would not have to worry about turning off outplays on the analysis. In my experience, cases where the expert human sees something the bot misses is significant (maybe not so significant compared to the size of the human error, but certainly significant compared to the size of the bot error). And the chances are good that if the strongest bot fails to see it, they all will. So if the human's flawed vision produces some of these, how many will the all-seeing oracle produce?
