I disagree. Testing pruning at blitz speed can say something about the level of the engine in blitz. Of course it proves nothing about long time control but people are interested in blitz result and not only in long time control results. If something helps in blitz and does not help at long time control it is also interesting information. If you test only at long time control and not at blitz you may miss this information. Uri Uri
