The scores are close.  Not the least bit surprising.  However, I think they
chose the wrong pony.

It is enough to see that the alternative move is as good.  And the one hour
analysis clearly refutes the moves played in the game, and is therefore good
enough.

What has been shown is that the game was flawed.  The best move appears to be
not quite as good as an alternative.  It might possibly be better, but I have
seen no demonstration of that yet.
