But black wasn't a human GM, it was a computer that didn't understand this. If you enter territory where you don't know what to do, that is a ?? move no matter if it is a !! move to a human that does know which end is up... You _always_ need to consider the abilities of the player when trying to decide if they played reasonable openings or not. In this case, one of the players is a computer, with an obvious weakness in closed positions that almost all computers have to some level. Sort of like getting a beginner to play something like the king's gambit against a strong tactical player, getting him in way over his head.
