It's a microcosm of the polarity of society

whereby both sides are overly entrenched in their own dogma that they come to opposite conclusions, each of which is wrong.

The analytics folks are correct from mathematical assessment BUT because they can't quantify momentum, they disregard it entirely. Football is often a game of passion and as such, sometimes the irrational choice may be the most direct path to success.

I think the best bet is to initially go for 1. Then on the 2nd touchdown, lineup to go for 1 and use a Fake Field Goal play to get the 2.
