REPLY: I may have posted the essence of this before, but see Wiki's summary of the economic theory known as "the tragedy of the commons." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons
If one's goal is to make maximum profit for oneself, then one should stay there until one can't stay awake, even if doing that burns out the play.
If one's goal is to let the maximum number of other people make some money from the play, then one should be gentle in order to let the play survive as long as possible.
"We" would all be better off if everyone chose the second option. I'll let others opine on which option a "real pro" would choose.

I would think a "professional's" main concern would be winning the most money. That might or might not involve pyrotechnics. And with a true "pro job" there isn't even a trace. Explosives are usually the sign of amateurs or showoffs.
