For the record, I still really hate this sort of conditional action,
and am not convinced it should be allowed – it can sometimes be used to
reduce uncertainty about the gamestate, but it has a tendency to make
it expand instead.

It is often (usually?) possible to get the same effect by taking an
action unconditionally in such a way that it will fail if the relevant
conditions aren't met (although it wouldn't have been possible for the
above score win attempt), with a Truthiness disclaimer explaining that
it will fail if you're wrong about the gamestate. I've been using that
technique in preference to conditional actions, where possible.
