One could also say that they investigate all possible plans.

Some of the great moves in history, eg. where Fischer seemingly sacrifices a
rook for no reason at all in an "equal position", doesn't take computers more
than a few seconds to find.

I think they are much better at finding the really strange moves, but are just
plane bad at finding the obvious moves (like a simple recapture in an exchange
of queens!).

Their strength is also their weakness in a funny kind of way.
