I admit that I am weaker than top chess programs

I did not try to play against top programs in 40 moves per 2 hours
I am almost sure that I will lose because I will not go to the positions that
they are weak but when I look in games between programs I see sometimes that
they do mistakes that I will not do.

When I use computer programs to help me to analyze my correspondence games I am
angry about mistakes that they suggest me to do.
