( I recall a pro making
such an observation; I was willing to accept his expertise on the
matter. )
Any pro making such a comment at move 10 is just grand-standing. I
have experienced pros making such comments too. You can let such a
remark pass out of politeness of course, but accepting it because of
his presumed expertise is extremely naive IMO. I would even be
suspicious of pros making such comments at move 150.

If a pro predicts a half-point win early in the game, that is obviously bs.
But maybe we are just taking his words too literally.
I think it's actually a bigger problem at move 150.
Because at that point he is making a (very shaky) claim to truth.
I just hate the Go-World commentaries where the narrative has one side
making 3 catastrophic mistakes
and the other side coasting to an unshakable 1.5 point win.
