I agree that fouls should count in high score.
Foul calls influence game play -- that is why the GDC made the rules the way they are.
One possible example: GTR Central teams were called for more fouls per match than at any other event to date. Perhaps this influenced teams to play less defense, run faster cycles, score more, and earn more breach and capture RPs. Perhaps this is the way the GDC envisioned game play in Stronghold.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
