I agree with this emphatically. Match strategy this year is a little interesting: you have to have an idea of relative strength of each alliance in order to make the correct call*. The breach is important, yes, but we're now getting to the time in the game where breaching is no longer enough to be confident in winning the match. How exactly you should try to guarantee the win is highly variable, and it would be foolish of me to try and give you a simple set of rules to follow for making match strategy. It just depends too much on how your event plays out and how your particular robot likes to play.
* and that's where scouting comes in. Yes, in qualifications as well. It's not just useful for alliance selection.
