It's not a totally dead rubber.  If we beat Hamilton and Morton win at Arbroath, then Morton will overtake Hamilton.  We therefore have a responsibility to field a competitive side.  We shouldn't be risking players carrying knocks though, but any players coning into the side should be told they are playing for a place in the side.  We should be looking to win this.

It appears that Hamilton were not quite as concerned about maintaining the gap over Morton as you were.

The point I was making was that as this was not a dead rubber from Hamilton's perspective, we had a responsibility to field a competitive side.  Earlier in this thread you disagreed with me stating "Our only obligation is to field a team and fulfil the fixture."   I'm glad to say the manager selected a highly competitive team and ignored your advice and that of others who would have had us fielding a team of youth and squad players.  Funnily enough, on the other thread you congratulate the manager on getting his team selection spot on!

Also contrary to your post, Hamilton were clearly very concerned to try and get something out of the game and maintain the gap over Morton.  They fielded a strong side and were out to win it.  Unfortunately for them, we also took the game very seriously, were clinical and blew them away in the first half hour.  To give Hamilton their due, they never gave up and in the second half worked very hard right to the end to get something out of the game.  They won several corners, had a goal disallowed and we needed some pretty last ditch defending to keep them out.
