It was never said that an alliance which has better bots is the superior alliance. It was simply stated as "the better alliance," whether this means better bots, drivers, teamwork or all of the above.
This rule has a strange dual nature. While your own score does matter, as opposed to last year where it didn't, your opponents score matters twice as much as yours does. Maybe this suggests that an alliance shouldn't attempt to defeat it's opponent 50-10.
Of course, we have to remember, "This competition is not fair." I say keep the rule. It will be fun to see how team's strategy differs between qualification rounds and elim's.
