that have adopted the procedure of going for 2 on every attempt (unless of course a single point with a kick would win the game).

They have more practice for the play than most teams, and some metric analyses have shown a positive result using this. There was a suggestion several years ago, which went nowhere, to allow teams to go for a 3 point play from the 20.

I realize that this post is not addressing the issue raised in the OP.
