Ray,
Almost all recreation players I play with tell me the same thing.
Chritian Marty in his book Petanque - Technique - Tactic says this is FALSE and gives many good examples:
The score is 10 -10, the opponents have two boules scoring and one left in hand. If you don't shoot one boule out but point instead, they have a potential 3 points for 13.
You have to shoot and remove at least one boule to keep them from scoring 3.
Also, who would not shoot the 13th point on the ground?
Of course, when the play is to shoot, if one points because he/she is afraid of missing, then one will never shoot, always being afraid of missing. One misses may times also pointing when this is even more hopeless!
However, I fully agree with the rest of your article.
