How bout this, Team A won a game that Team B was playing in and walking a hitter is a perfectly acceptable strategy in baseball. It doesn't take much coaching to win a game by 8 runs but in a one run game coaching is often the difference. Explain to the kids that coach A took a chance that paid off. Team B played well and kept the game close. They are 10 years old and will get another chance.
Everyone knows you will be tested upon winning a stage. So why do it? Because 99% of the time, your doctor has it right and you won't get caught. The long list of those caught point to mistakes made by the "lab". I say the doctors are human and they make mistakes too. Doctor mistake = positive test.
