Sometimes - I guess - you have to make a weak move, that is NOT the best move in the position - to realize a plan of yours. Any grandmaster knows this. And of course any grandmaster understands the point that there are many similar moves within the draw-range. Chess-programmers often do not realize that you cannot really order the moves for BEST criteria. Since you will never find out accurate enough. So chess players know by experience that many moves are ok. Since they know this, they know that sometimes you can play a 2nd best or 3rd best move to realize a plan you need to win. I ask myself how alpha-beta can ever catch this behaviour !
