The post you quoted was talking about the number of litter points, not winning matches. You can get quite a few points for litter.
Also, point denial is really good. Even in quals. If you can prove to the good teams that you have good point denial (cans), even with only decent scoring capabilities, then you have a good shot at getting picked even if you don't score tons of points. Yes, getting the most points is good too, but realistically (at SVR, for example) we're not going to beat the Poofs almost as a given (I think they've won SVR 15 out of 16 years or something). So playing for picks is a workable strategy.

Put a bin on your robot just collect the easy 6 - 10 points for ending in the landfill.

That's 20 seconds of them not scoring tote points. If a team has a 4 tote stack with 20 seconds to go, will they go for the litter or for two more totes? Either way you win as they use valuable time.
