I guess I’m just not good enough at math…
The Score Estimator counts using area scoring rules, and this is true regardless of what ruleset is used in the game. If you count by area scoring rules, you will see that Black has 42 points and White has 44.5. There’s your W+2.5.
I’m closing this thread because it’s a well-documented bug. See:
OK, Just kidding, shouldn’t blame the computer. It’s the player’s responsibility. Just want eyeballs.

OK, I know it is hard to estimate the score in the middle of the game. But for this particular game
up to move #246, 247, 248, that’s right before both parties pass, it still shows white wins by 1.5 but when the final score is out, black wins by 0.5. The board did not change at all for that 3 steps and the final board. And the …

And if I count the score manually, I get black by 0.5…! What am I missing?
Thank you!
Joh
