How do you know?

The weak players cannot do it because of 2 reasons:
1)They have not good memory
2)If they play a line that they do not understand the opponent can do a small
mistake and get them out of book when they are not going to know what to do and
do bigger mistakes.

These 2 problems are not problems of the top GM's and even if they do not know
what to do without thinking after thinking they may find a way to punish the
opponent who did a mistake.

I believe that part of them do it espacially when they need to play an important
match.

They have not an infinite time to analyze so they can analyze some lines when
the other people in their team analyze other lines.
