No
The question is if Deep Junior could find the right moves to win the game.
Junior could not win with a pawn advantage in the first game so resigning only
because you think that you lose a pawn is a bad behaviour.

I also want to know if Junior could find the right moves to get the crushing
attack in the analysis by khalifman and alterman.

Yes.
It is a surprise that the top players do stupid blunders that even 1600 players
usually avoid(b4? in the first game and resigning in the second game).
