There will always be an argument to only do optimal/best-case things. This is known as "Min-Max'ing" in gaming. It's not about playing the game so much as doing what is perfectly correct for maximum benefit at all times.

It's a playstyle that many enjoy when it comes to cerebral challenges or situations. I do fall into it personally at times, but I dislike going too hard into it as I lose the spirit of the game when I do.
