Actually I disabled the book completely. But unfortunately pachi
continued to systematically start with E6 as black and quickly
got into unfavorable positions. (I speculate that E5 is better.)

What makes you think that optimal play should be peaceful? I speculate
that it should often be very complex, full of kos and tenukis, and
very difficult to understand for humans ("I play here because it gains
1 point 20 moves later"). Some games might be peaceful, but a perfect
player can select arbitrarily complex sequences as long as they still
achieve the perfect result. There are a lot more complex games than
peaceful games.
