I see the point you're making; yes, draws are effectively "bonus points" in that sense. They're there to top up your wins, and sooner or later, if you're not chalking up those necessary wins then you'll be in trouble.

But that still doesn't make them worthless. Teams have survived by a single point, and won the title by a single point. Yes, you could argue that they'd have done so with a greater margin if they'd turned a few more draws into wins... but what if they'd thrown the kitchen sink at trying to get those wins and ended up losing the games instead? Would the supporters hang their heads at season's end and wish they could have just been satisfied with a point every now and then?

Some draws *are* worthwhile.
