Not true IMO. I think that in many cases, if there is "something" in a position,
it should be visible much more clearly within a reasonable number of plies.
There have always been examples where depth could replace knowledge. And if not,
then "something" was probably just a Fata Morgana most often.

There will always be exceptions.

Some people say, (more) knowledge is just necessary because programs can't reach
the depths to evaluate correctly (with lesser knowledge).
