My rule is simple. When I have a trade pending I put on the hat of the opposing GM and honestly determine if I would make that trade. If the answer is no, I move on.

I agree, people shouldn't get mad when the AI blunders a bit, but here is the situation from my perspective. I'm not criticising your view at all.
I like to play games that challenge me and cause me to think. It takes away from that if I have to stop and say, 'the AI isn't handling this very well I won't make the trade'. Just like when I play Civilization, I don't want to throttle back my play because the game doesn't put up a good fight. I think it is amazing that OOTP was created and now enhanced by one guy (or a very small team). They do an amazing job. Sometimes you just wish it was a bit better here and there (as I'm sure Markus does too).
