(2) Supply: 2-3-4-2-1-1-1
Every round the game will replenish 2F, 3 fish, 4 wood, 2 clay, 1 iron, 1 grain and 1 cattle.
That means taking 2 cattles = taking 2 rounds supply, while taking 4 woods is only taking one round of supply.
Well, of course, you need to more or less make sure the things you are taking will be useful.
But in the early part of the game, they are all going to be useful and this is a good guideline to compare the relative value.
If you are consistently taking "less of a round value" of goods than your opponents, then you are in trouble.
Your conclusion assumes that "one round" of each resource is approximately equivalent (i.e. 4 wood is approximately equal to 1 cattle). I don't think this is the case. Just because 4 wood tiles come out each round doesn't mean each wood is half as valuable as a franc (which comes out twice each round).
