This strikes me as one of Sun Tzu's easier quotes as far as interpretation goes. Application, however, is a tad tricky in practice.

Every so often, mostly in non-tournament play, I see a player make a totally boneheaded move (irrespective of his/her opponent's situation). While this occasionally loses games, I see the problem get corrected by the player just as often, if not more.

So, where's the pride in common sense? If the runner runs indiscriminately without a sentry breaker, he will get burned. If the corp leaves the central data forts uniced for the length of a game, he *will* be scored on, barring either a miracle, or the deck construction skills of a netrunner diehard. Common sense is a must, but when we exercise it, we should feel relief before pride.
