I think that you must have read something to the effect that it was Benjamin's
idea to play this move if they ever reached that position.  Your conclusion is
that he had the idea *during* the game, but from what I have been told, this
move was in their book *before* the game.  It's OK to build a book before the
game.

Does this clear things up?
