For my opinion this is not true at all. The problem is still to evaluate quiet
positions only instead of positionally deescalated ones. You can have only a
goal within tree evaluation which is visible as a leaf node. As I know evaluated
leaf nodes today still ignore those dynamic positional aspects. The result is a
tactically strong play with positional highlights only by luck.
