With each side winning as white in the French (then what is the point to play
it) even if the computers don't play the Nunn positions as there main-line
choice the value is only that each computer begins thinking from a given point
that is assessed by at least one GM as being equal at that point. Then with each
computer getting white and black engine strength can be measured over a series
of games, at least strength against that specific opponent because I agree with
something else I read here that certain computers are tailor made for others,
much like humans.
