What's wrong is that if search tends to be less effective with increasing speed,
actually "knowledge" (probably meaning "evaluation" in your mind) has exactly
the same problem.
In chess, Search <=> Knowledge
I believe in dimishing returns from improved search, and I also believe in
dimishing returns from improved knowledge ("improved evaluation").
