The objective is to destroy the brick without destroying any other bricks. You want to find which bricks need additional support and subsequently support them.

The issue is that there is not really a good way of calculating which bricks need support.
For an excellent example of that, see the Duplicator. Notice how randomly it selects tons of stuff you didn't want?

You need to limit the amount of highlighted bricks to something sensible like 128. You don't necessarily need to highlight all the thousands of bricks that one brick is supporting. In the situations where I've needed this I would only have needed to know which bricks are supported in general so even ~32 highlighted bricks would work.

A supported brick is not the same as a connected brick. It's easy to find all connected bricks, but seeing what's actually supported is a whole different story.

I'm pretty sure they are same thing.
Edit: Oh silly me. I was assuming you'd know which one is the supporting brick and you are hitting that. Never mind.
