After bar/24 8/7*, the question is whether to make the bar point or
to lift both blots. I opted for bar/24 14/13 8/7*(2), which gives
good chances of making a five-prime at the cost of a couple of
indirect shots. But XG says to lift both blots. I think the point
is that X's main game plans are attacking and/or racing, rather than
priming. A blot on the 8pt is not just a liability on this roll;
it may force X to do something about cleaning it up later, when he
would rather be focused on escaping his straggler.
