If the bare engine would have been playing, what would have happened
is exactly what happened: the position would have been repeated until
either one deviated or it was a draw after all. In the actual game,
someone deviated.

The operator reasoned: neither engine understands this is (claimable
as) a draw, so why should it be a draw?
