Sorry, slight clarification which doesn't affect what Justin was asking about, but which will no doubt forestall further questions.
I should perhaps have said "You always win at OR ABOVE the win-by-two cap if you're winning by two (or more)." If it goes to 12-12, then 13-12, you CAN win at 14-12 even if the hard cap is still at 15.
