I think if you lock a rager in a completely safe room with a pile of magic gear that's true... but that's not generally how things go.

Take the other extreme for a moment: Let's say you're alone fighting against five mages and you somehow manage to kill one of them. Are you going to sit there and let the other four guys kill you while you sort out the magic gear from the fifth guys' corpse and sac it? Of course not, you're going to focus on killing another mage or getting out alive as the situation demands.

So while what you're saying is true in a sense, it isn't absolute... and I think there's often (not always) room as a rager to say, in essence, hey, it's more important that I kill this other mage / get the scepter back to the village / run over to help out this other rager in trouble / whatever than sit here and sac every potion.
