> It's one of the single biggest misconceptions ever, it gets repeated endlessly

FM Roese here (best DWZ 2399). I agree, figuring or even conjecturing that Fischer overlooked 30.g3 is totally insane. However he also did not saw the theoretical draw, this strikes me even more off. He never opened up about his idea, so in all likelihood he calculated something very stupid.

> if you plug it into an engine, it shows an equal evaluation

They criticized this argument rightly, but many basically repeated your mistake in the process of doing so. All engines use some evolved adaption of iterative refinement, be it either "Iterative deepening" (of an alpha beta search) [1] or "UCT" [2]. If you post computer evaluations you should at the very least give the reported nominal search depth and the engine name and version, otherwise you are just asking for trouble. On computer chess fora [0] they often post the whole log file bluntly.
