Hints are never as good as the PVs that the engine generates for itself for the
simple reason that the engine response PVs  are 1 ply deeper than the permanent
brain PV hints because the game has gone 1 ply deeper.  Also many programs give
hints which are not based on a complete permanent brain PV. They simply give a 1
or very low ply analysis hint.
