Replying To omahant:  "The rhythm of a string of passes, ultimately leading to a wonderful POINT, even with the fist, would be lost. Instead, stop, reassess, recycle, wait for that goal opportunity. Choice of either close-range score retains finesse and a better spectacle."
I dont see any scenario where a team might have a goal chance - the defense closes it down and they start passing it around - they will either go back for an open 2 or take the hand 1. face the kick out and keep the pressure on.

The real benefit of the 4 point goal is 1 - the game is never over - 2 the safe fisted point or tap over on the 14/21 will be ditched for a goal change - you'll only need to score 1 goal chance out of 4 to match a 100% strike rate from inside the arc

Replying To Freethinker:  "A very valid point."
Maybe in 'wrestle' situations, best to give 'benefit of the doubt' to both players (no +50m)?

I don't relate your first paragraph to my point - maybe my blind spot?
