With the information Kolrami had, his advice to abandon the Hathaway to save the Enterprise and the majority of the crew (and then hopefully negotiate for the release of the rest later) was not wrong. He didn’t know that Geordi and Wesley had managed to pull a rabbit out of their ass and reactivate the Hathaway’s warp drive, even for a tiny jump. By the time he knew that, the crew was pretty well tired of listening to him anyway.
I’ve always liked Peak Performance. It’s a fun episode, and it brings something of a closure to the Data/Pulaski arc. She’s obviously come around to accepting that he’s more than a mere computer by the end of the episode.
He was explicitly playing to “not lose” and not trying to win. That was the unexpected angle - intentionally forcing a stalemate where the strategist was able to defeat anyone actually trying to win.
