On my first playthrough, I took the shot, because it goes against my grain to deliberately perform below my abilities. With subsequent characters, the Paragons let Garrus win. My only Renegade playthroughs to date were with an Infiltrator who is the deadliest thing in the galaxy with a sniper rifle, so she certainly wasn't going to deliberately miss.
