I have an easier time mentally justifying storing up low OP cards for a more expensive action (queuing) than I can in stacking the deck (culling, but I am not sure that this is what you are referencing).
With queuing, I tend to think of it as knowing you have a bad harvest, lack of political will, etc and so concentrate the meager resources in fewer, more critical directions. Besides, without queuing some games like Washington's War or FtP (which I think has it) would be pretty tough for one side to do much of anything.
Culling though .... I am not sure about. PoG is a good example. I understand the concept and desire from a game perspective, but less so from a historical one. Again, one more reason why I slide PoG more towards "game" rather than "simulation". Not that it isn't a hoot to play mind you.
