There were times when you could play predator and expect a much faster game or better score, especially when it was initially begun. Any time the AI was given a break on maintenance or unit cost generally meant they had more money to spend on tech and a knowledgable player could take advantage of that if their game was tech based. Of course this wasn't always the case as tech wasn't that important for every game. But say the Civ had a UU that required a lot of teching, the predator player in those cases would get the tech faster by way of AI help and most likely win faster than a non-predator game.
I don't believe that was the original intention and was only clearly apparent early on.
I'd vote that anyone that ever won a medal should have to play it, and anyone that ever complains about the difficulty during any pregame get added to a forced challenger list as well.
