I think, this was was meant as a serious question and also as a serious reply on you. For me, it is difficult to say, here we can trust the bots, and there the answer will not fit in our conceptual framework of the game and therefore the bot must be wrong. In the heydays slotting away, playing pure was even expert style. Then splitting came and no one slotted. Then Snowie slotted with 21 and it changed for this again. If equity is an overriding criteria to guide us, then i think, we must say, when there are positions where we don't trust rollouts, there is no right answer possible. Even a manual RO can have flaws and biases. And a backgame, in my opinion, is dependent from so much things, that a correct answer is only possible with a large simulation.
