A lot of guys I know would rather be knocked out than forced to admit they lost. I feel you're kinda going for "a loss is a loss," but I'm trying to point out people don't really see it that way.

Myself, I grappled with a guy several ranks higher than me for 30 minutes in a randori I knew I would never win. And I held him off, which is great, but I mostly did that because I didn't want to quit. People dislike tapping. And nobody LIKES to lose period, but admitting you had to give up is always more painful to a competitor than a decision or count.
