Is min/maxing a flaw of a game, or the players?

Any choice you make for a character in a game with "silly mechanical details" such as dnd should be based upon what makes sense for your character. For instance, if you are playing a thin, dexterous fighter, it would still benefit you to have a high strength, but it might not make sense for the character.

So placing your high score somewhere besides your strength stat would place you at a relative disadvantage, but it would be the correct thing to do because it would be good roleplaying.
