I think you missed my most important point entirely. A team cannot be "cretinized" by anything other than their own actions. Again, you are what you do.
If a team tries to (a) win the game and (b) balance the coopertition bridge, every time, then at worst they might be considered starry-eyed and naive in the best of ways, but never dishonorable cretins.
Figuring out the right thing to do is rarely harder than pausing to think, "if I were the other parties involved, how would I want me to behave?" Nowhere in there lies throwing matches or refusing to cooperate on the bridge.
When it comes to honor and integrity, anything that must be justified invites further scrutiny. Err on the side of honorable non-cretinism.
