My mistake? Quit joking
This is _not_ the position where everybody said that engines have little
understanding. This is an open position where engines have a _lot_
understanding.

Furthermore I don't follow blind the evaluation of an engine.

Of course I looked at 13...Nb8 14.Rfe1 +-
White has a huge advantage in development in an open position, Black a horrible
pawn structure.
Your evaluation is wrong. The position is not just slightly better for white.
It's hopeless for Black.
