Your succesfull attemp on deliberately missing the point is noted ;)

BTW did you know that a special rook-pawn evaluation function which swaps the
score twice when called for black, will make your engine give away pawns ?

The score will NOT rise. The score is -BAD, but don't worry, with all these
extra pawns, you can still force a draw.

Until one of the pawns promotes, and the rook-pawn evaluator isn't called
anymore and the score is plain BAD :(
