Y=ax^2+bx+c Fact or Fiction?

A lot of people have posted on this site that the quadratic equation has nothing to do with the scoring. However, I think it does. It reminds me of a math problem we had. We were given a perimeter of a rectangle and we had to find the greatest possible area. The greatest area results when the four sides are equal, a square (note: the resulting area function is quadratic). So in my mind, the quadratic equation was meant to show the highest score results when the number of bins in the multiplier stack equals or is close to the number of bins that are unstacked. Try it. The scores are higher the closer the two numbers are together. Also, if you graphed the score with the stacked and unstack bins as variables, the scores will form a parabola.
