This will cause problems.  There _are_ valid times to mark the scores in the
hash as "useless".  It is likely those cases will be missed if the force
nonsense is used to play a game...

Of course leaving things alone is _also_ very bad.  A buffalo craps in your
right hand.  A horse craps in your left hand.  How to choose which is "best"???
