OK, I'll have to do an inversion for this example. Plus I don't even have the name of the game, so bear with me.
Most fairgrounds have a game involving a stand with a big button, connected to a vertical slide, and a slider, with a bell at the top. The point is to 'prove' your strength by hitting the button with a sledgehammer, and try to make the slider ring the bell at the top. With me so far ?
OK, the standard method to win every time is not to aim to hit the button, you have to aim about three feet ( 1 mtr ) below it. In other words to have to aim below the mark to hit the mark !
Ring any bells ? :-)

We find a mark and to make certain we hit that mark we go that extra mile to make sure that mark is hit. We leave nothing to chance...

Perhaps a military/police sniper aiming at a long distance target.

it is when a philosophy major who thinks they are above others in profound thought, analysis and intelligence realize that their life is cr@p as they are flipping burgers and serving fries.
