Oh, it happens. Replace the word "knowing" above with "assuming" and it's slightly reasonable. But it's not guaranteed, and it usually takes only one time with that assumption turning out to be wrong for that team never to try it again.

In our case, we actually did make it off the wait list the one year we decided to risk it. It was a very close thing, though, and we don't want to repeat that gamble.
