Reminds me of this chapter from Eliezer's fanfiction. "Winning" in the naive, common-usage-of-the-word sense doesn't always result in better accomplishing your goals, and it is sometimes "rational" to lose, which means that losing is sometimes "winning" in the LW/rationality sense.
Words are confusing sometimes!
