Who cares what a human player would do? What matters is playing a move that does not lose in a drawn position (or draw OR lose in a won position). The position that you gave is drawn and the move that was made does not lose.

All I'm saying is that the move is not wrong, and I defy you to find a Grandmaster that would say that the move IS wrong. jm
