I don't really like to see moves like a3 or e3 to confuse a computer book,
because there are other options. You can use quiet lines, by human standards, or
lines where the computer has problems calculating what to do. Van der Wiel said
that the biggest mistake a human can make, is to attempt to play chess against a
computer chess program. With the Dutch championships in mind, I tend to think
he's right.

I could be very interesting to see, if it's possible to implement opening
knowledge without hurting the general performance of the chess program itself.

Best wishes...
