Possibly, but I really doubt it. Vasik was an International Master far before
Rybka was a strong program. Remember that when first discussing the best style
of Rybka (very positional) he felt it was the most correct one to follow, which
suggests this follows closely his own view of chess in general. That being the
case, I am pretty sure he knows a lot more about positional play than Rybka,
even if Rybka can outperform him.
