This is not a true statement. Brattice-load only high shooters can't hit low without adding a layer of complexity and inaccuracy to a shooter. Similarly if you have an irreversible ball collection mechanism. A high shooter that can also score low is a more specific and constrained design than just a high shooter.

You'd be quite surprised how similar the Expected Values are between low and high goal scoring.
Our team was, in fact, slightly flummoxed when we started estimating scoring potentials of high-goals specialists, breach and low goals, breach and scale bots, etc. They all came out rather surprisingly close together.
