I see no contradiction.
You need to evaluate if a pawn is a passed pawn also when there is no
information in the hash tables so the question if there is a fast way to do it
by bitboard is still relevant.

At long time control it may be unimportant but at least for blitz it may be
important.

I also need first to evaluate pawn structure(today I only evaluate double pawns)
and the question if to try to use bitboards is relevant.
