This is an interesting point. I tend to do the same thing; I like complete games and I do not like taking out pitchers who are dominating games because they hit some artificial pitch count.
However, this is not totally realistic in my solo fictional leagues that begin in the 21st century. I guess as long as I am satisfied, I let this and other details slide a bit. So, realism is certainly not absolute and is indeed "in the eye of the beholder."
