Now the CM's opening book consists of more data, but is this extra data useful
(if not dangerous)? It depends. Is CM aware of the drawish nature of the
Gothenburg variation? For example, if CM is playing for a win, will it "know" to
avoid the Gothenburg variation and instead head for the classical 8...Qc7 ?

P.S. If black is playing for a win, he'd better avoid playing 7...Be7 in this
variation, and instead, play 7...Qb6 heading towards the poisoned pawn
variation.
