I don't want to win an argument, I want to win.

I.e. while it is obviously fun to use and abuse the logic, it isn't clear to me how does this help you in the long run - unless you got into TV debates, which we aren't going to discuss here.

Somehow related - "win wars, not battles".

From an optimization perspective: when you spend more on each try - you get less options to try. Seems like there is a balance somewhere.
