I think that it is dependent on the knowledge of the amateur in the opening.
I believe that a good engine should find in 90% of the games the right moves
with a small user book that have only games of less than 10 moves.

losing half point in the rest of the games(10%)+losing time in some moves that
it is out of book is not going to cost 100 elo.

If someone has an epd file of opening positions ordered by frequency based on a
big database of games then it may be interesting to find the positions that
programs have problems with them.
