That's not the point. I assumed same place. But we could play them in Coach K's living room, it doesn't make us better by losing to them
Losing to Duke at home is worse than on the road. I think the weighting is 1.4 for home loss, 1 for neutral, and .6 for away. It also takes into account the other team's SOS.
I understand what you're implying though that losing should never be better than winning. I'm not sure if I agree though. i guess the problem is that RPI doesn't take MOV into account. I definitely think losing by 5 to the best team is better than beating the worst team by 30.

Yea, only if margin of victory is in the equation does it make any kind of good sense to quantify the value of losses.

How can losing (w/o scoring margin included) EVER be evidence of your team strength.
Again, I could lose to the 1992 Dream Team. Beating Glen Oaks High > losing to Duke anywhere.
