Are you absolutely sure about this conclusion? It's a little difficult to
conclude that an opening book is inferior just because a specific opening hasn't
proven to be advantageous for a human chess player playing the white side.

Off-beat openings are actually quite ideal, because there's leeway for novelties
and special preparation, getting the opposition out of book early. So you can't
reach a conclusion like that automatically.
