All well said:

Now let me give some evidence.

In the 4th game, a hedgehog, it is common knowledge that as Black you must find
a counter attack by d5 for instance. If you don't, and Kasparov didn't, you get
strangled. Now people said, and I guess Kasparov will also do that, that against
a comp you should pay attention NOT to sac a pawn or such. But that is exactly
the proof what I want to have. If you can't sac a pawn against DJ, then why
playing the hedgehog? Just to see how you get almost strangled? As it was in
that game after b6?
