No

You assume that inmplementing knowldge mean using it in every node.

It is possible to use knowledge only when the remaining depth is big enough.

The idea of the knowledge is to stop the search when a draw position happens and
return draw score.

I do not see the risk in it if 100% of the positions that you detect as drawn
are draws and if you only use it when the remaining depth is big enough then it
is not going to do the program 300 elo weaker.
