Bullet - Rolling dice

Having not played a lot of Bullet Chess (G/1m) over the years, I'm not quite up with the nuances of the game. So much so that of the recent games I have played, it seems like the results I score are the complete opposite of what is actually on the board. When I am winning on the board I lose on time, and when I am losing on the board, it is my opponent who gets flagged.
This leads me to one conclusion: You can play bad moves faster than good ones.
So for avid bullet players here is the question: Is playing good moves a bad strategy?

Very true. How often does someone get mated in bullet because of their opponent's superior play? Usually it's a time loss...

Yes, it is true but only when the level of players is not that high.

Even at the highest level bullet chess is full of mistakes, just smaller and fewer than at lower levels.

Can't you say the same for tournament chess, or for that matter, even correspondence chess?
