No, but you don't need perfect lines. You only need lines that are better than
your opponents lines.
Opening books are not even nearly perfect. There are lots of examples where
engines come out from the opening book with -0.50 because either the line was
bad or the engine didn't understand what's going on. Maybe the engine better
would avoid these lines when playing by its own.
