Interesting distinction.
I would be more willing to try a good, unknown female out over a male -- because it doesn't hurt if she can't produce.
In other words, in the original scenario, the question was should I waste one of my good female's
heat cycles on an "unknown-bred male" (which I would NOT do) ... but tossing a load of semen from my excellent stud into an "unknown bitch" is altogether different, because I have not committed so much to the unknown dog. In other words, I can use my good dog's semen on one of my well-known bitches anytime ... the next day if I want ... whereas when I commit one of my bitch's heat cycles to an unknown male, I can't use her again for at least another 8 months (maybe a year or more).
This is why you could call up any dogman and breed your done-nothing bitch to his Grand Champion Stud: it's nothing to him to lose a little semen out of his stud; he can use him again tomorrow.
But if you called and asked to borrow his best
brood bitch to breed to your done-nothing stud, he will say
"NO!", because nobody is going to waste a heat cycle of their best bitch on anything they don't know and want real bad.
[The level of commitment is simply too great], with using a key female on an unknown male, [commitment using a key male on an unknown femalewhereas there is zero , because you can immediately use the key stud's semen again.]
