Please look at the Chessbase Help on trees. It plainly states that you can add
statistics to the tree based on an external database and you don't actually have
to add the game lines to the tree. The submenu is
Edit/OpeningsBook/LearnFromDatabase

However that was not the focus of my original post. My original post clearly
stated that sometimes when adding a move to the tree, the tree will add bogus
statistics to the move even if no retro move shows from a possible
transposition. I have the retro moves feature turned on.
