That’s what I mean though. It’s received wisdom, not actually true. Baseball has loads of them including one about not embarrassing your opponent. That one died after someone lost an 8-run lead in an inning. Feels like it’s a stupid (unwritten) rule that will be binned as soon as someone decides its needed in order to win a GC
There’s an unwritten rule that the responsibility of controlling the race falls on the team with the leader’s jersey. You can choose to ignore that rule, but it’s frowned upon by other teams and might mean that when you’re looking for help at a later date, none is forthcoming.
