I did not say that it is bad strategy.

My point is that the program find that move A is clearly better than the rest
Move A has score of 0.2 for black before the decision to do singular extensions
when move B has score of 0.5.

Move A has score of 2 for black after doing the singular extension and the
program choose move B that does not get extended so the program gets 0.5

there may be extensions for other moves in the same line but if the line
includes only few singular moves the difference from the 0.2 is going to be
small.
