The Scandinavian defence is an inaccuracy

Here is some SF analysis of two recent games:

Not only is the Scandinavian defence an inaccuracy according to the engine, but 1...e6 instead is the best move! Maybe the first three moves or so of well-known openings should be left out of Stockfish's analysis?

I don't mind it myself though, I think it's pretty funny.
Yes, the French Exchange line is the future of chess (...)

Tomorrow we will no longer see the Ruy Lopez Berlin, but ... the French Exchange !

No more Boring Berlins, but exciting fresh French Exchange Stockfish games ! :-)

(Requesting Lichess comment editing)

correction : Tomorrow we will no longer see the top GMs play the Ruy Lopez Berlin, but ... the French Exchange !
I'm French and I love play the French Defense.
Shame on you Erindreki! A player of your level making an inaccuracy by the first move.
What exactly has this phenomenon (crazy engine evaluations for opening moves probably because of some horizon-effect) to do with lichess feedback?

@erindreki: I am wondering a bit that such a strong player like you obviously dont know that scandinavian defence is played by the strongest players from time to time in important games. Hard to imagine that they would use an opening (move) that is unsound in any way...

@achja: your humor is delicious... :-)

Best wishes
