Wrong.

Paradise could pick a move for any position.  Its intended domain was for
tactical searches, including both mates and material wins.

More succinctly, Paradise was a pattern recognizer combined with a planning
engine.  Its search was secondary in the sense that it was used to verify the
plan(s) constructed by the pattern recognition scheme.

(I have Wilkin's SRI paper in front of me as I type this.)
