Sometimes it is the opposite and knowledge about some endgames can can cause the
more complex ecaluation programs to see tactics faster because they can see
tactics some plies earlier by positional knowledge.

Another point is that it is a mistake to assume that knowledge is only about
evaluation of positions and it is also about better search rules so I do not
think that more knowledge should slow down tactical findings.
