You're missing the point. The bots are most likely far from optimal, and I wouldn't find it hard to believe that they're horrible by real-world standards.
The point is your analysis demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of the means by which a ridiculous-looking strategy
can be good. You also misapplied several GT concepts.
Your overall argument (that the bots aren't good) is reasonable, though.

That isn't what I suggested. I said it's possible for a player (whether in human, bot, or dog form) to avoid
the problems you mentioned by having balanced ranges for each sizing (i.e., they aren't constrained to the flawed either-or proposition you provided). As evidenced by your repeated use of the word 'if', we were dealing with hypothetical strategies at that point--not these two specific bots' actual strategies.

It's probably not. But the relevant question is "How
can it (or something similar) be the optimal sizing?" Or more precisely, "How can it (or something similar) be one of the sizings you'd use in this spot as part of an optimal strategy?"
You'll probably be able to answer that question, or at least make educated guesses, after reading
MoP.
