Sorry, but I do not agree...It depends how the book is made.

If a book is really sound, it would be better than this solution. Of course if
the program taking over is weaker it would loose anyway.

The "solution" of cutting the lines was made to avoid weak moves later in the
variations, and this can be done easily, but best would be to have a good book
without weak moves in the lines...it is possible.
