I ask me the same question: Do I miss here anything? I will get always a score for an position... but when the knowledge I use fits not well to a position means that that score is probable near to 0? If so...and just if so (!!) I think this could be worse...because I would probable assume my opponent to judge it the same way... giving it also a score near to 0... and so I optimize towords a position I really know nothing about. I would expect it better to judge me a position as bad...as less I know about it...and as better for the opponent to avoid me to play towards such a position. I could imagine that something like this is already be done in atleast some programs, isn't it? Ingo > José C.
