Actually, the given example seems legit.  I may rephrase it as move pruning
policies can limit scalability.  Depending on the severity, the bot may be
completely blind to some lines of play.

On the other hand, with soft pruning (un-pruning?) methods, it may just take
a really really long time to come to a realization.  Of course, that doesn't
really mean that things don't scale.  They just don't scale as quickly as
some would like in certain situations.  Of course, that's a trade that all
bots must make...
