I am never going to justify purposely calling a play incorrectly to get out of dodge, but comparing 27-0 and 6-1 (later 9-1) in the same conversation is ridiculous. They are two entirely different situations. I agree with the other fellows here, I miss enough unintentionally to miss one intentionally.
