Really?
We came back from a 5-1 deficit to win 7-6 (on a single penalty on our opponents --- BAE Qual53). This comeback scored seeding more points for us than would be possible had we assisited our opponents.
Giving up is just plain foolish, and teaching to do so is worse regardless of the scoring system.
