Uhm I understand what you are saying, but I still don't think its logical. Check it out:

If I pick 100, and he picks 99, he gets 101 and I get 99. There is no reason to pick 98 because the maximum is still 100. I can see an argument for picking 99 or 100 but no less.

If you pick 2, the max you can get is 4. This is obviously illogical. Think in terms of expected value pls.

"#3 pencils and quadrille pads."
- Seymoure Cray (1925-1996) when asked what CAD tools he used to design the Cray I supercomputer; he also recommended using the back side of the pages so that the grid lines were not so dominant.

"Interesting - I use a Mac to help me design the next Cray."
- Seymoure Cray (1925-1996) when he was told that Apple Inc. had recently bought a Cray supercomputer to help them design the next Mac.

If you make the penalty even just $15-$20, it quickly becomes clear that you want to move down the scale pretty fast. I agree it's highly counterintuitive with a penalty at just $2.
