I am not talking mainly about being superior positionally but about being
superior in tactics!!

If I see that the move of the program is leading to a forced line then I can use
the program to analyze the position after the forced line.

I can use this information and the evaluation of the next best move  to decide
which move to choose.

I saw cases when programs traded pieces to a lost pawn endgame because they did
not use a lot of time to analyze the endgame.

I do not choose a different move without analyzing some lines with the program.

I think that you are right only about part of the non masters(non masters who do
not know what they do not know

Non masters who know what they do not know can be productive as a team with a
strong program.
