Hmm I must have misunderstood it when I first saw in it Crafty
around 15.18. Robert mentioned '...reduce the depth an additional
ply...', which led me to believe razoring=negative extension.

However, looking back at it this was one ply before quiescent
search, so reducing depth with one would be equivalent to cutting
I guess...

Heinz does it a ply 3 though, and he doesn't (necessarily) cut.
