I've always thought that judges are encouraged to never score a round even because this way of scoring helps motivate the fighters to actually win the round. In a close round the system - the fact that the outcome of a round will make a 2-point difference in the end - should really encourage fighters to press the action towards the end.
So, in other words - it works like this, not because it is 'fair', but because it - theoretically - leads to better fights.
Do I make any sense?
