Why do people say that not resigning is bad sportmanship?

There are more resources than material in chess, for example time and space.

You might be down in material, but maybe you have advantages in time and/or space.

So a position, that has a certain evaluation by an engine, might be unclear, when you are actually playing it.
@Tengelo777 you and i should have a Bullet match sometime first to 100 :) also i play differently baised on my opponents most opponents i never attack i just try to flag them by premoving some others i have to go for checkmate as i cannot flag them online :P
@dst001 You now have the best record among Lichess players against me. It's 12-0! Good job! My brain hurts from playing and losing so much.
@dst001 reminds me of bitchess hyperbullet tournament. I lost 12 times in row against 2000+ rated players but I beat one in the 13th game.
Also this:

"Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row"

– after finally beating Jimmy Connors at the 1979 Masters following sixteen straight losses.
@dst001 you need to work on your atomic skills. I am sure you can get much better than you are now!
@Tengelo777 i can beat you like 50 times in a row play me in crazy house 30 sec rated and i'll prove it :)
I am Tangelo777. not Tengelo777. It's a big difference. Tangelo is a delicious fruit. I was eating many of them when I needed a cool username.
