If this is the case, why not just agree and be done with it? You seem to be
overly aggressive here for apparently being a supporter of EGTBs. I believe in
his main post he was saying EGTBs are helpful, which IS the case. You can twist
this any which way you'd like it, but when you brush off the BS it all comes
down to the fact of EGTBs being beneficial.

Also, to your comment about the move being as fast as the EGTB access itself.
What you left out is that the EGTB move would have been played instantly, where
the engine without EGTBs will end up thinking and wasting valuable time. In his
case with Fruit, not only did it waste time thinking, it also shuffled pieces
around for a period of time. With EGTBs this would have been avoided.
