This is why analytics rarely support kicking field goals on 4th down inside the 10, and especially inside the 5, barring an end of half or game scenario.
Analytics also don’t know if you’re gonna need those three points later that you passed up on

Pretty sure the data for all games is included in the simulations, so it basically is accounted for (over a muc larger sample than one game)

Yeah, It was the coach at Pulaski Academy in Little Rock? who came to the realization that kicking the ball was bad and should be done as little as possible and then discovered that if you went for it on 4th and 5 and less you would score more and your odds of winning went up a lot

There is a Young Sheldon episode on this.

Every football game is like a snowflake… no two are the same. That’s why we love it
you play games differently if you’re winning, tied, or trailing
