hm.  well, given that it can be noticed during
a game, it seems at least that it'd be a great
opportunity to throw some extra clock at the
evaluation of the situation -- i mean, the move
was unexpected and perhaps not in our favor,
so ... pause to reflect.  that's what most people
do, anyway.

my bad, i assumed that branches got trimmed if they
fell below a certain value.

this must imply that the likelihood that you can
predict the response move of the opponent declines
as the depth increases, which would make sense.
