The point is what the question means. If A) more knowledge is more code lines
with knowledege or B) it means more variety of positions where the program pcik
a move not on the ground of sheer search but deciding accortding a positional,
knowledable criteria. Clearly are different things and even they can go on
oposite directions. A bad programmer can put into the program every conceivable
knowledge and still produces a nasty thing. And vice versa, as Morshch do, he
can put just a bare minimun and get a really outstanding program.  The question
is and ever will be: which is the relevant minimum knowledge to multiply the
maximal search capabilities for the best overall result. This is like the
alchemic formula of the problem.
