It must mean you picked a move that was good for the opponent. Failing high on the other hand, probably indicates that this is too good to be true, one should go back and try a different thing to ponder, since the opponent probably has something better. I actually see this (too often) when it ponders, after going into ponder mode the score can jump up like crazy, that's when I know it's not going to be a ponder hit ;_( The opposite also happens of course, once and a while the score drops on a fail low, that is when I cross my fingers and start praying the opponent will cause it to be a ponder miss :) -S.
