But Tal could do this because he was stronger tactically than his
opponents. If you are weaker tactically than your opponents this
strategy does not seem advisable.

Suppose in an even position 10 moves seem positionally reasonable
but 2 of the 10 have tactical refutations. The weaker you are
tactically the more likely you are to inadvertently chose one of the 2
blunders.

It tells something about your ability to avoid creating tactical
opportunities for you opponent. You will not play a blunder if you can
find the refutation in time.
