Based on other things that he said(deeper blue is better than deep Fritz) it
seems that Hsu is not the person who tries to present things worse than they are
so if he says 12 plies he cannot mean more than what is considered as 12 plies
by people except extensions.

No

I did not see where they said that the iteration depth is the software
I remember that they even said that iteration x means depth
x-4 in the software(I understood that it was about deep blue Junior and not
about deeper blue but I guess that the word iteration has similiar meaning in
deeper blue).
