The issue is not being a pawn up or down. The issue is that the book
should steer the engine into a position where the moves it naturally
selects are the best ones.

I'd rather be a pawn down in a position where my engine plays the
best moves, than be a pawn up and have it completely blow the position
after a few moves.
