So you are saying if we have teams A, B, C, and they are ordered by ability, and B would generally beat C, but lose to A. But if C don't have the fear against A, and in a one-off game scrape an unexpected victory they deserve to go more than B?
It's an interesting way of looking at it, and goes against the principle of RR being the most accurate way of seeding, but I do see your point, judging teams by their ability to beat the best (cup teams), rather than their peers (league teams).
