In high-leverage situations, you should arguably either be playing tic-tac-toe (simple, legible, predictable responses) or playing 4-D chess to win. If you’re making really nonstandard and surprising moves (especially in PR), you have no excuse for winding up with a worse outcome than you would have if you’d acted in bog-standard normal ways.
(This doesn’t mean suspending your ethics! Those are part of winning! But if you can’t figure out how to win 4-D chess ethically, then you need to play an ethical tic-tac-toe strategy instead.)
