The fact that an  engine scored 2950+ on the tactical test suites does not mean
that it is good for analysis even if you are interested only in tactics and I
suspect that it may suggest wrong sacrifices in analysis.

I suspect that if I want to detect tactical mistakes in games it may detect good
moves as blunders because it may prefer some sacrifices that were n ot played
when it is not clear if the sacrifices are better or even worse and the
sacrifices are blunders.
