I'm not sure - i still trust Jeroen's and Alex's competence and long year
experience. And i don't think that they are playing games with us by having some
"secret" refutation parat ;-)

Ok, it always happend in the past, that some "dead" lines became playable again.
One "hole" in such lines may let programs miss the decisive key move due to some
very deep tactis with a rook or more less.
