I'm not sure what your point is. I think the above is perfectly clear in its meaning. All else being the same, search depth clearly makes a program better. However, the context was "is faster better?" when comparing deep blue to the micros. That's where the "thread" started, if you notice... I have _always_ been consistent here. In some cases, knowledge certainly replaces depth. See the trojan horse thread near the top. But that only covers so much. _not_ a 100:1 which was the speed difference we discussed with the deep blue vs micros back in 1996 and 1997...
