And the only objective should be to win the game

Amen, brother!

To me the ability to play at a great PR is like a baseball pitcher having a 100 mph fastball. A tremendous tool to have in the arsenal. But if that pitcher throws nothing but 100 mph fastballs, eventually he is going to get lit up. He's got to know when to mix in a curve, or a slider, or a changeup.

Similarly, the super-duper PR player needs to know when to make that "sub-optimal" play that XG2 might just disagree with, based on his opponent's tendencies. And if that just happens to lower his PR by 0.1, or 0.3, or 0.5, or 1.0, or whatever, well golly gee...

You play to win the game!!!
