Lifting one vs. lifting two

After careful consideration, I propose that a blue alliance that has a robot that can lift one robot to 12" will on average score an insignificantly fewer number of points during the endgame (say, less than five) than their opposing red alliance that can lift two robots to any height. My reasoning is that there will be a high percentage of broken, disabled, or tipped robots, or robots that just can't be lifted, or problems in communication (ever had trouble trying to get your entire alliance home?) that will keep two robots from being successfully lifted by red. In addition, the robot not participating in lifting for blue will almost certainly be playing defense on the far side of the field, and probably will frequently keep a liftee (or possibly even the lifter) out of the red home zone. Blue having unfettered access to spoiling while red is lifting is also a consideration. Am I way off-base here?
