Pure play vs. skill related adjustments

Some players try to maximize their win rate by making the plays that they believe has the highest equity.

Other players adjust their play according to the perceived skill difference between themselves and their opponent, thinking that this approach will win more matches.

Personally, I rarely adjust my plays to a weaker opponent. I never adjust my play when playing a strong player. Basically, 99,5% of the time I just try to play what I believe is correct.

Assuming 2 players are 55-45 in a 17 pointer when they both try to play their best and make no adjustments, how will the win rates look if the stronger player adjusts his game to his weaker opponent?

What if the players are 60-40 when both playing pure (pure in this case = as close to bot play as they can play)?

Give me your guessess, and let us know if you are an "adjuster" or a "purist".
