So by your opinion it's uninteresting if chess programs are capable of
creating/calculating a sound opening move? If you consider ordinary analysis,
that would probably be true. But why not see if it's possible? It might not be
certain that the current opening theory is carved in stone. In fact a program
could be capable of adding to current theory, but with bigger and bigger books
that's not possible.

Best wishes...
