I havn't noticed that my hiarcs 7.0 learning funtion functions, but if I might
have fiddled arround with it and then it suddenly cottoned on, I would have
thought not as what I actualy did was to use restricted plys. R-c3 took only one
ply, but Nxe6 wasn't found after one ply, nor after two, but after three plys.
If it had learned it I would expect it would come after one ply also.
And 3 plys is by the way a small fraction of a second on my k6-3 400mhz.
