I recommend not using a chess engine for the first draft of your annotations, and then checking through with the engine after if you have the software to do so. Focus on your thoughts and understanding first and once that's done, double check your thoughts with an engine.
When you're done share your annotated version in the comment section. Feel free to be criticial of either side:

Hi,
I agrre. Computers are excellent at working out the tactics of play, but not great at the startegy or feel of chess.
For example, computer analysis often plays moves like pawn to g5 in a castled (0-0) position. The computer sees this as grabbing space and key squares and doesn't mind the exposed King, because with accurate play it will hold together. But a human would play a safer and better move elsewhere and thus not have created an open king position to start with. So, for me a better move is to keep the king safe!
Sorry if that's not a 100% clear, but try to thing positionally with analysis rather than constant tactics :-)
Mike
