I wrestle with this same question. I absolutely want to believe that AH owners have learned from this mistakes of others. But just recently, I went to sleep with what I thought was an irrationally high max bid, which was four tiers higher than the current bid. Fast forward to 2am, and there's just one bid that bumps me to my max (not an incremental series of bids.) I did win the card, and I want to believe situations like this are the result of two collectors valuing the card similarly, but it does make you wonder.
