I can add that the logical explanation is changing weights in the evaluation.
changing weights in the evaluation can cause the program to be better in
position A and worse in position B.

Junior5 also could find sacrifice against Nimzo when Junior6 could not find it
and the reason was not throwing knowledge but reducing the value of pawns that
had positive effects in other positions.
