Bot Analyis

As Ray, and others, have said innumerable times a bot analysis is only as good as the bot and is only absolute as it relates to the play of that bot.

If Bot X says that Play 1 is 0.05 better than Play 2 that analysis is only applicable and is only accurate if one is playing against Bot X. A human player will not play in the manner of Bot X or, likely, as well as Bot X.

Certainly, the analyses of the stronger bots are fairly accurate and, generally, are highly indicative of correct plays. But to assume bot results as the gospel is ridiculous.

If Play 1 is 0.005 better than Play 2, according to Bot X playing against Bot X, it is nonsensical, in my opinion,
