Agreed in general, but I'm not sure about this particular case. The category was a ballbuster (I'm forgetting what it was at the moment) but the $400 question was a stumper, there was one other that went unanswered, and the DD was located in the bottom spot -- not exactly a formula for a high percentage play.
In general, I'm with you in the "swing for the fences" mentality up against Ken, but here I thought it was probably wise to lay low - the setup was potentially brutal.
You can still make the case that he had to do it, though, I suppose... all things considered.
