A computer can never sense danger, it can only see danger. With a slow computer and fast time control it did not see the danger. With an up to date computer it would have and does. I disagree with your point, and I don't think you can show it to be true. That you were winning this game before the blunder. At a slower time control or with a faster computer Fritz 8 would not have lost this game.
