How do you know its mistakes are 0.1 point if you don't have a stronger tool at your disposal?
When having evaluated a position and then evaluating the child position, the best score changes by +-0.1 (the percentage also changes favourably) and then KataGo explores and favours a previously dismissed ("overlooked") other candidate with only then significantly better percentage and score values, which previously had values of a mistake.

By the way, did you test it on endgame positions for which you knew the answer? Did it make mistakes?
No. So far, I have only studied openings. This keeps me more than busy at least for months. Checking endgames or other things familiar to me would be interesting for fun to see if KataGo does worse or empirically confirms, but they have little or much less impact on my strength.
Studying openings is much more relevant for me because traditional opening theory has been so weak that about the only thing I keep from it is the advice to always consider the whole board position. Every other traditional opening knowledge KataGo seems to dismiss, except that it still uses some of the human josekis while it disregards many others and uses many new ones.
Studying life and death is also important but I think practising problems is more relevant for improving related strength than admiring KataGo's "reading" skills.
