perfect tablebases do not know what is slightly.
The only knowledge is for the result for every legal position.

perfect tablebases can tell you to do stupid moves(to give a pawn in KRP vs KR
and to lose the practical chances for a win).

If the starting position is a draw then only losing moves are considered to be
inferior by the tablebases.

I understand that you have a different definition of perfect tablebases so what
is your definition?
