I've never said that it is a refutation, but there is a thing I strongly
believe:
such short risky lines(with 3-4 pawns down by engine's point of view) should not
be present in the book...
At least for Crafty. It doesn't understand the position and I doubt that it will
find the right moves in a reasonable time(especially after this one:1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Qh4 5.Nb5 Bc5 6.Qe2(or Qf3) Nf6(last book move)
7.Nxc7).

Best regards,
George
