Yep.  The winners calculate strategies that maximize points.  It's an
operating contest, not a popularity contest, right?

Why's it such a surprise and such a big culture shock (to the point of
constant rule changes) that rovers have moved from the "rugged
individual roaming the plains alone" to team efforts that soundly kick
the individual's collective butts?  

ENORMOUS team efforts have DOMINATED the fixed Multi-Op category for 20+
years.

The math shows that rovers who want to win, will follow suit or get
beat.
