They can show with evidence and facts that the move was a positional blunder. You cannot call tactics SAVE and positonal things GUESSING. Positional stuff can be transformed into material. Tactical advantage is material. Positional stuff is material transformed in something else. Like Energy. Tactics is physic-laws on materia, positional is energy in those processes. But tactics are not more accurate than positional. Both are as accurate. Thats what MY opinion is over the years studying people like Seirawan, Bronstein, Kosashvili or Kohlweyer/Schaefer fighting against the machine I operated, or i watched them killing the machine. How can you say a positional advantage is less real, just YOU are unable to COUNT - better - bean-count - it accurate ! YOU are the problem. You cannot measure energy as good as measuring mass. Thats YOUR problem. Buy a new scales.
