Resigning a game is a loss for sure.
Not resigning is probably a loss too, but not necessarily.

So why resign, if there are (even 0.00001%) changes to avoid the loss?
Why ever take zero points, if one could have (even few) changes to get more?

Program doesn't feel bad, if it goes on fighting until its mated, does it?
(Or does it's programmer? :-)
