2. Kh1 Bg1 (or elsewhere that does not block the Q) Yields the same result but takes one additional move when the Q blocks the R and is immediately taken for mate. This is no less solved in the real world, but the system grades it wrong. Mate in two is no better than mate in three unless we just happen to get there with only a fraction of a second remaining on the clock (very unlikely).
As long as there is absolutely no escape, I say we should at least accept the gallant (if bumbling) victor who allows the opponent King to eat his last supper before his demise.
Another analogy: a child of 5 who writes a nice story but receives failing marks for misspelling the word "paradigm" on the last page.
