It is not biased, that's my point.
It should be biased toward the '1pt' loss, if loss is unavoidable,
not for beauty but for the likelihood of converting a 1pt loss into a win.

I am getting tired too, and I is a detail, not (yet) very important.
But I thought it might be a relatively easy one to fix using the
proposed "situation-dependent komi", and small improvements tend
to add-up over time :-)
