I have played with stronger humans, including my younger brother, many
games, and it doesn't seem I can improve score. Humans are much more
flexible than a crude bad opening avoidance a program might do.

That's exactly where the fragility of the program strength comes from.
It takes a human to readjust the openings and evaluation parameters
before the program will correctly handle such position (although again
only in its literal minded ways, which with experimenting a human
player may be abla to bypas or find some new unforseen side-effect
of the changes).
