Just feed the boulders back into play and leave the defense to the robots.

Uh, it's a net gain of 10 points. How is it not superior to take 15 points in penalties if it prevents them scoring 25 points?

It's just smart play. Clearly if the GDC intent was to prevent this the penalty would have been more severe.
