I doubt, that a two card suit is adequate fit.

You mean (at least) 8-card fit is not adequate?

No, the question was, is the 6-2 fit "good" enough, to allow the use
of positive adjustments(*), I am not familar enough with ZAR
points, but ZAR reminds me at the LTC.

To explain the question, just look a the LTC.
What is the basic assumption of the LTC?
The 4th card in a suit is not a looser, because it can be ruffed,
if the card is not high.
If you have a 5-3 fit, experience / simulation shows, that
this is over optimistic. => Add a looser, because of the "bad" fit.
Even a 4-4 is not really good, but for practical purposes, no
adjustments are made in this case. (The LTC works best with 5-4 fits.)

That's all. If you look at Bens answer, he adressed the raised issue.
Read it, think it over, if it makes sense, buy it, if not, not.
Thats the way I use the Forum, and if I need clarifications, I ask, always.
Hopefully the questions also raise some pointa of interest for others.

(*) He used a positive adjustment as he added a point because
of the trump ace, which is a positive feature.

With kind regards
