You're right! I AM an idiot and I CAN see that! ;-)

But seriously, once again, I SUSPECT that GM Gulko is just going through the
motions. Even after 21.Bg4, there are at least two moves that are much better
than 21...Nxg4 (specifically 21...h5 and 21...Rh8). The game might indeed be
lost by this point (after only 21 moves?!), but he certainly could have put up
more of a fight.

Actually CM9000's new "Best N moves" display shows this as the best 5 moves:
