This is an unanswerable question. Strategy and tactics are not the same thing.
Strategy is what you want to do and tactics is how you do it. I agree that
tactics  are everything in the sense that any strategy or positional plan is
only as good as the tactical implementation. There was a time when strong human
players beat the best programs because they made large positional or strategic
mistakes. This means that they allow tactics for their opponent.
