Imho this makes it a good analysis engine anyway. Analysis means that you also
want to find hidden ideas not played in the game (maybe even not working ideas).

Btw, a strong engine (like Shredder) is not necessarily the best analysing tool
for a similar reason. It might consider a move actually played as worse because
it likes another one more. This is not equivalent to the "non-correctness" of
the move actually played.

Alas, as Mr Hyatt already pointed out some time ago (imo correctly), the engines
are designed rather to play against each other than for analysis, so this
particular style in Pro Deo is certainly worth a look.

Best,
Martin
