Bojun Guo's chess database lists all initial moves except:
1.h4
1.Nh3
1.Na2
1.f3
1.g4
as having a centipawn value of 0.00

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I do not know the basis for the scores but something is illogical in this database

After 1.d4 d5 2.c4
2...e6 has the score 0

I expect after it all moves for white after
1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 to be with a score of at most 0 but see
3.cxd5 1

I do not expect the data to be perfect, but I do expect it to be very good.
I suppose that each branch is mini-maxed individually and I think the initial searches are something like 24 plies.
But with the many billions of analyzed positions, I think that the positions are probably within an eighth of a pawn in all cases until the depth is too great.

Yep DC but there's some backlog in the minimax; but imo a score zero
although fundamentally correct doesn't say much, key is how many
good moves are there for Black after your first White move.
Then it still is evident that 1.Nf3, 1.e4, 1.d4 are the best moves.

There are other -even less simple- ways of choosing an opening(move) btw

Personally i think this (WDL contempt) is an awesome feature
(but we probably won't see it in SF any time soon although you never know)

Based on mobility, e3 has more move choices than even d4.
While it is not all that popular, I think it is underrated.
