Fruit probably tends to underestimate pawns and it is not about pawn structure and I think that in position when one side has some compensation for being pawn down fruit tends to have higher evaluation for the side that is pawn down relative to other top programs. Note that I am not sure about it and it is only my opinion and of course things are dependent on the position but I guess that increasing the value of pawn can be productive more often than counter productive. I do not expect big improvement from changing the value of pawn from 100 to 102 and of course testing against one opponent may be misleading but my guess is that the change is going to be productive for fruit.
