Why bot games are worth reviewing
A human opponent is different every game. A bot has the same habits at move 5 and move 50, in every game, forever. So a loss to a bot is a loss to a fixed pattern, and the review shows you the pattern directly: the move where the graph tipped is the move where the bot's habit met your blind spot. Fix that and the next game against the same bot is a different game.
