the +3 pawns looks a tactical score to me. but the +1 is a too optimistic

Note that this position from pure tactical viewpoint is not real interesting
because other moves than Bxc6 win too here for white. That's what
i hate most about about most extensions: when everyone already knows
you are won, then suddenly they add even more tactical to your score.

well it does win harder than other bishop moves do. bxc6 IS tactical
winning, but the real trick is deeper than the +1.x

The real question here is does it also give away a piece for 3 pawns
when it is NO good to give it away?
