These observations are not meaningless unless you care only about getting total IW in the game to agree more or less to actual totals.
I've seen something like the following happen numerous times in OOTP. Ninth inning AI team in the field and up by two, man on second no outs. IW to my leadoff hitter making it very likely that the AI team will have to face my 3 and 4 hitters with the tying run on base. If you watched an entire major league season, I'd be surprised if you saw a single instance of an IW in that spot.
You would not go far wrong IMO if the AI team stopped issuing IWs to the tying or winning run. Also bad is issuing IWs when the AI team is several runs ahead.
