No, you can't make a conclusion like that. What would an evalution of -2 have
helped. Would it have used more time? No, not according to the game. Approx. the
same amount of time used when behind. Would it choose other moves? No, it still
selects the move it believes to be best. Change plans? No, programs doesn't make
plans.

The only real chance of changing direction IMO would have been a fail low,
forcing it (presumedly) to search for an alternative. Transposing a consistant
score up and down wouldn't change much, if anything at all AFAIK.

If the purpose is to establish the obvious fact that programs misevaluates
certain positions then it's a profound waste of time unless you're writing one.
