Most of that 'code' is the lack of skill, and the ego-block.
It's also a strategy thing. 'Manufacturing a run' is considered passé. And they're right; Slugging beats small-ball in general.
But most of the time if they are in an extreme shift and giving you a free bunt single, you would benefit from a good bunt.
