"Ne2+??, a horrific blunder!" I'd like to see you do better

While the computer calls this position dead equal, I do not believe this is the case from a human standpoint.

Where does any computer say "dead equal"? I only see numbers and variations. Perhaps you mean "0.00" as in "equal"?

I want to direct your attention to the position after Gukesh's 52nd move, Nd7, hitting the black rook.

I'm pretty sure any human would play Nd7 in that position. Regardless, in Rowson's book "The 7 Deadly Chess Sins" a similar position is offered, and the master was unwilling to agree to a draw, so instead they selected a losing move without having considered that it was losing.

Actually, it's not obvious that Ne2?? is a blunder unless you see all the moves Gukesh saw.
