If you believe that more TB probing is counter productive, you are contradicting
with Shredder - the top program.  Take this position for example:

2k5/8/7p/8/5qP1/1Q5K/8/8 w - - 0 72

If you run infinite analysis on it with Shredder 7.04, Fritz 0.008 and
ChessTiger 15, you will find that the Shredder accumlates TB counts about 8
times more than Fritz and about 16 times more than ChessTiger.  If TB probing is
counter productive, how come Shredder does it so much more and can still be at
the top?
