You gave the answer yourself. Sometimes it makes sense to deviate from a master
plan. Also, I sincerely doubt it's possible to state for a fact that one opening
move is better than another. Adaptation to variants is the key. The reason for
chosing 1.d4 is probably little, but positive tournament experience against
tough opponents. Therefore it makes sense to explore other options when you have
the chance, ie. not too strong opposition and a not too important tournament.

Just to make it clear. I'm not suggesting foul play against Deep Sjeng by
Noomen. However, I do find the approach suboptimal from a book author
perspective.
