I don't think I've seen a single team line up their robot in front of their opponent's secret passage, nor have I seen any counter-autonomous modes just to stop that one ball from being scored. After all, the crossing points they lose is equal to the points they deny in the two ball auto routine anyway. It is definitely done this way to require less accuracy and less chance of a penalty after the first ball is scored.
