We (at least I) do not engage in these dicussions to help them to improve their
books.
Of course he has cooked up something against 16...b4 that might be at least
deadly for programs, but he won't tell you.

16...Rb8? is even worse however.
I don't need to analyse that move from black point of view. I know it's bad
because it is too slow.
In my huge game database there is not a single human game with that move.
