The same can happen if you don't use a book, ie. the engine "guessing" it's way
down a losing variation. And as Vincent says, there's plenty of opportunities to
choose the wrong path.

The problem arises if the opponent gets you out of book. Then you have to rely
on the engine or the big book. Neither will eliminate the chances of chosing the
wrong lines. Maybe even increase the chances. Using a small book designed to get
both out of book would have better chances IMO.
