100% Correct. It was the right call - based on % successful outcome with the time allowed. Just like Tommy LaSorda with pitching to Jack Clark instead of walking him. It was the "right" call according to the "book" or "convention" but did not get the desired result. LaSorda and Carroll played the % and lost. Carroll and LaSorda probably guilty of "over-thinking".
There was an alternative available to them, but they chose not to use it, others have done the unconventional and won (and lost too), me? would have run Lynch in.
I like that the AI allows for things to be a little unconventional.
My point is, "it does happen".
