Here is what John Nunn has to say about h6:

"7. N1f3 h6? But Karpov never played like this! This move forces White to
sacrifice a piece, but the resulting attack is so dangerous that there are
almost no human players willing to take Black's side. This line seems
particularly inadvisable against a computer: a wide-open position, tactical
ideas on all sides and a vicious attack for the silicon monster."

Even if at some future date you are eventually proven technically correct and
that the position after h6 is not just a forced loss for Black, from a practical
and psychological standpoint h6 was a very poor choice.
