I agree that you can get a better positional understanding by doing a slower searcher but it does not imply that practically slower searchers have better positional understanding. I saw cases when Hiarcs and fritz "believed" that they were better and fritz was right in the evaluation of the position not because it saw 1 or 2 plies more. Here are some possible reasons why fast searchers have often better positional understanding. 1)The programmers of the slow searchers do not use the right parameters in their program. 2)The programmers of the slow searchers do not know what to evaluate and they evaluate many unimportant things instead of small number of important things. 3)The slow searchers are slow because the programmers of them did not know how to do the same thing faster.
