Subject: Fegatello test (or trap?)

I submitted to some engines a line that is known since 400 years:
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Nf6 4 Ng5 d5 5 exd5
I was surprised to see that most of them answer 5...Nxd5 whereas it is known
since Polerio that this move is bad after 6 Nxf7 or  d4 exd4 7 O-O
of the CB native engines , only shredder7 , junior7 ,and junior8 pass the
test (they play Na5 , Nd4 or b5 that are the "regular" answers ),and that a
"modern" engine as Hiarcs9 behaves like the obsolete ones
if these engines (out of book!) behave like this , what confidence can one have
in analyses by such engines ?
Friendly Yours
