When a 15k plays a weird move, we assume he's just bad.
When a 9p plays that same weird move, we assume he's profound and knows much more about the game than we do.
The move itself is almost irrelevant. It's the plan that matters, and the devil is always in the details.
I play 9p moves too, but I certainly haven't considered all the angles the way a professional would.
