I was responding to the commenter's intuition that GMs do actually analyze more lines. I'm saying the original article's claim checks out even for machines.
Im not sure where the misunderstanding is.
The article says better players calculate a similar amount of moves and your anecdote shows the better player calculating a lot less.
So yeah it rebuts but the idea that GMs analyze more moves but it doesnt agree with the article, right? I guess just in the sense that its not more.
