That is my favourite approach to that type of Sicilian also. Didn't think anyone else knew of it. But I don't think black would play 8. ...Nb8. They usually play Nb4.

Nb8 has been played thousands of times, Ne7 hundreds of times, Nb4 about ten times.

About 10 times? Two comments. Firstly you must have selective and possibly very dodgy vision. Secondly, maybe that's why I always used to win with white.

Lichess db gives three games. My phone db app gives seven. Lol at being defensive

Not a clue but it's good ground for an argument. How come you have so many weird friends anyhow?

Dunno if that’s about me or the kid in the thread but, well, in chess you encounter a lot of wacky and wonderful people

No, weird friends are sometimes good. They can lead to interesting and exotic discoverers.

Both are equally good. Initially e4 was and then d4. And now e4 is coming back with new ideas.
