Aye.

But I think it depends on the tournament structure. In an elimination format, all that matters is that you outplay your opponent, which reduces the quandary (inducing a bad drop is good for you). And PR also has the advantage that skill is sampled more or less uniformly over the whole match, whereas in MWC scoring the heavy weighting of a few high-stake games in the match could increase the statistical noise.
