New opening? e4 c6 f4!?

I analyzed this position on stockfish and the engine line goes:
1. e4 c6 2. f4 d5 3. d3 dxe4 4. dxe4 qxd1+ 5. Kxd1 Nf6 6. e5 ne4 7. be3 bf5 8. nf3 nd7 9. Bd3... Top engine line and it's about +0.5. meaning it's legitimate and works well. Other lines I analyzed we're about +0.2-0.0.
I called it the Moore attack in my study. But I think it's more of a defense. What do you think?
I have played e4 c6 f4 many times as white, many games in the Lichess database too. I often play it because of premoving f4. Usually find myself in 0.0 positions after the opening.

Buddy why do you keep making these threads?
All openings have been played in history and most by top players after whom the opening is named and rest by amateurs on popular websites though unnamed.
Actually, I used to play that against my microprocessor (just to get it out of book). Invariably it lead to one of the stranger transpositions I ever did see: 1 e4 c6 2 f4 e5 3 Nf3 ef 4 d4...and somehow a Caro-Kann has become a King's Gambit! (where the move c6 is not without its purpose).
