(I know this particular issue has already been laid to rest, but I'm perpetually intrigued by this line of thinking...)

Do you guys get upset when basketball teams make intentional fouls to stop the clock? How about when a baseball pitcher issues an intentional walk to avoid giving up a home run? Or when a football team takes a delay-of-game penalty to get some extra space in front of their punter? Every sport I can think of has some notion of purposefully accepting a punishment for the sake of attempting to gain an advantage. Can anyone who felt that the strategy Lucien described was somehow unethical explain why this scenario is different?
