How representative is Stockfish for all computer engines? The title assumes they are more or less the same. Does e.g. Deep Blue make the same moves or does he follow Stockfish also for around 50%. And the initial release of Stockfish was in 2008.

The release doesn't matter, you can let it play historic games retroactively if you know the moves they did.

Technically correct, but the interpretation is difficult. You cannot say for example that humans are learning from the computer with only 2 data points in the computer era.

Its not 2 data points

Its just "go ask anyone who plays chess, the computer is a useful tool"

If you play much chess you should know working with computers has revolutionized the game, and qualitatively changed the playing style for the players at the top.

I’d argue you can. That’s not 2 data points, it’s the average of many

There is a correlation that computer chess took over the world (sounds a bit dramatic, I know), but the increase is smaller than several decades in the past. Is the increase larger than the natural expected increase?
