Strategically planning to flop down and curl in a ball until a ref lets you back up, is every bit as cringe inducing as when bjj guys pull guard.
The justification that the judo guy at least attempted an attack first does not work for me. The bjj guy has to live with his decision and be aggressive from the bottom now. Essentially they are both falling to avoid getting taken down, it's just one guy is attacking before the flop, and the other is doing it after.
