I guess I can see where you are coming from on that now. But in my opinion, that doesn't mean that a team is not willing to listen to a smart strategy its just a team that is willing to take a risk in the hopes that they will make eliminations, but thats my opinion. In my experience I don't think I have ever had a team that didn't cooperate with our strategy if we were alliance captains. For us it wouldn't change our pick list in either direction but I could understand why it would change yours and you can't argue with your results.
