The author shows that the beauty is not only in problems in multi-solutions. Superb !

bBe6 can be moved to g4 for a hs#10.5. Not sure if that’s a gain, though…

In my view it depends on what you want to emphasize.
If Indians and switchbacks are important, then this move might be superfluous.
If solution paradox plays any role, then it makes sense to add the move as it rather magically moves the bishop away from the final events.
As the black bishop would be used in the bicolour Indian manoeuvre after two moves, it reminded me of the h#4,5 where the white Indians appeared with both thematical pieces making two moves for Indians.

For me the additional move, albeit paradoxically heading for the opposite corner, does not surpass the iconic paradox of the diagram position’s partial restoration by a triple switchback.
