Why not? Lasker said, “when you see a good move, look for a better one.” That was tree pruning advice for an implicit search.

Sorry, that's just egregious abuse of terminology. Either you're pruning the branches of a tree (or other graph, potentially) when you're doing a tree search, or you don't do pruning. Specifically advice taking (if that's what you mean) is not pruning.
