I think it is a good idea to delete book for testing evaluation.
1.Nf3 is also develop pieces so I do not see a problem if a program prefers
1.Nf3
You cannot know what is the right moves(the most popular are not always the only
 right moves) but you can see some wrong moves of the computer(usually not in
the first move but some moves after it.
