There is a big difference between "the bumblebee can't fly" or "an iron
bird can't fly" and my position on search.  You only have to check the
results of any computer chess event you care to choose, and notice
whether
the tournament was won by a "fast searcher" or a "knowledgable
human-like
selective algorithm."

My comments aren't "theory".. they are *reality*...
