Okay, so it seems like independent scoring advice is a valuable feature, not just for bot games or for handling abandoned games. I don’t think we should give up on it so quickly.
While thinking about how @Vsotvep’s algorithm might fail I came up with this. Assume Japanese rules:
White [15k] just passed. What should Black [10k] do?
- Play B2 or H2
- Play B1 or H1
- Pass
- Resign

If both players have passed, how do you score it?
- Tell them to finish the game
- Both of Black’s bottom groups are dead
- Both of Black’s bottom groups are alive
- One is alive, one is dead (or both are half-dead?)
- Both players lose
