Defense is part of the game's learning curve.  Typically, beginner players may not be aware of defensive play, due to greater focus devoted towards general hand development and memorization of [[yaku]].  Eventually, players learn the importance of minimizing point losses, especially via ron.  Point losses via [[tsumo]] or [[[ryuukyoku]] are minimal, and they're easily reclaimed with relatively easy winning hands.  Especially in the case of tsumo, point losses are shared among all the players, rather than one bearing the brunt of the entire opposing hand's point value.
