Are you sure that this is the only correct move?

If none of your programs play the move then it is a good reason to suspect that
the move is not the only best move and it means that the test is bad.

If I have to choose if to believe the programs or to believe some book or some
humans I usually choose to believe the programs unless I see evidence that is
more than one move and is based on computer analysis.
