And when they do find it, they know it is a good move. They would not say, "Now I am down 1.5 pawns to my opponent." In the same way, a chess program that thinks it is behind has not found the right move yet. If you don't put down a bm for H7 to look for, it does an excellent job. If you do put one down it does some bad things that make for crappy data. That was my point, which you have failed to grasp. When you put down a bm and H7 immediately stops, it is not because of some positional brilliancy. It is because it happened, at that iteration, to look better than the other moves. Yet if the eval is still negative, it does not know why the move was chosen. It just stopped.
