It is not going to eval faster but to search faster.
The same effect can be also achieved by humans.
The 2 humans may have different evaluation function and it may be a relative
disadvantage but humans have other advantages in consulting and they can decide
to consult in that way only in part of the positions and in another part to
discuss which plan to choose or they can discuss the reason for their evaluation
and one human may convince the second human to change his evaluation.
