I applaud the teams that designed the more difficult solution. Now we need a game that enables that solution to pay off as a valid strategy and have some reasonable chance of success. Please understand, I am not saying you shouldn't try to stack. I expect teams with well-designed stackers to win awards. What I am saying is that statistically speaking, stacking is an outlier. It will happen, but only rarely.

We will just have to wait and see. Honestly, I agree with you on the outlier part...
There will be at least one team who can stack 6 high about 75% of the time. I can't wait to see it, and I think they will seed high... so they can pick the best KotH bot
