I find it interesting that this is how all legitimate arguments seem to end on CD. Both sides come up with compelling arguments that nevertheless fail to convince the other side. The consensus always seems to be that everyone should believe what they're going to believe... Which is really no consensus at all.

Can't the FRC community ever decide on something important? Yes, thus is the internet, home of poor grammar and inflammatory arguments, but it always frustrated me how we can have these awesome discussions and never seem to get anywhere.
Well you could say the exact same thing about politics, which I would say is a bit more important than FRC...

But back to the original question, I think that you can make a solid argument about why teams shouldn't throw matches: just go back to the point of FIRST. FIRST is about inspiring students and showing how awesome robotics is, and throwing matches accomplishes the opposite. So I don't think that teams should throw matches.
