A program that only understands one particular positional idea can still solve other types of positions for the wrong reason. And inflate their test results... When they really know nothing at all. For tactical tests, you can prove that you see the correct result, because it is a search space problem with a finite and measurable solution. For positional tests, you can prove you don't misunderstand things by not playing bad moves in specific positions, but that doesn't prove that you _do_ understand what is going on...
