I don't know, I still seem to trust more Leela than even Larry. I have zero opening theory knowledge, but I am a bit skeptical when people come with some esoteric to me knowledge, while in the openings Leela already at 1 node is positionally probably GM level. Sorry, I think I will stick with my simplistic approach using Leela with the best available net at long analyses.
I went through proposed by Leela line ply by ply to 100 million nodes each ply, and remarkably e4 line was followed all the way to the 8 moves I showed in the diagram in the first post. The same thing, remarkably, happened with the d4 line, this time to 6 moves.
The positions in diagrams do occur in many recent games of top GMs. I let analyze these e4 and d4 lines at the endposition for more than 100 million nodes each. The net is the best JHorthos bignet. Crucially, these trends are hardly visible at say 10 million nodes, the scores stabilize after more than 50-100 million nodes.
Here is the e4 line analyzed after 8 moves, previously checked ply by ply 8-mover, now analyzed to 100+ million nodes:

=========================================
e4 best line performs 50% better than d4 best line. These are not weird openings.
With e4 line, if it so bad an opening for Black, why very recently it was played as Black by super GMs from Nakamura to Carlsen, Topalov, Karjakin, Anand, etc.? It is a pretty common opening for top GMs, both as White and Black.
With d4 line, if it so bad an opening for White, why very recently it was played as White by super GMs from Nakamura to Carlsen, Kramnik, Gelfand, Aronian, etc.? It is not an uncommon opening for top GMs, both as White and Black.
========================
I know nothing of opening theory, and sorry, I sort of love Leela in the openings, I am very biased trusting it
