That's how I see it, anyway.
That's a bit of a false dichotomy. A focus on maximizing seeding points does not preclude a focus on winning matches. In fact, the two are pretty highly correlated. The argument is that there exist (likely rare) situations in which conceding a match is more beneficial than attempting to win because of the seeding points. I suppose I'm just irked by blanket statements that say scoring on oneself is never the right thing to do. As an aside, I don't believe the converse statement that a team should always give up/switch sides when losing badly is true either, but I don't think anyone is interested in having that argument.
