Yeah this is basically the gist of it. In the heat of moment, at the apex of a moral dilemma, it is likely that your body will have a lot of things operating upon it, and a large cognitive load to track just to keep tabs on the environment. If you mix in the obligation to make an important moral decision, especially one that sacrifices evolutionary benefit for abstract social benefit like "I will not engage in a violent reaction when I feel offended" or "I will not copulate with this apparently willing and attractive potential sexual partner", well, we could say that it's likely that /usr/bin/moral_override will time out and your body will default to the path of least resistance for itself in that moment. Thus, rehearsing for good outcomes in high-pressure situations is like tuning a configuration file to ensure reasonable behavior in known potential failure modes. You can hope that you won't hit the failure modes described (or you can plan ahead, knowing you eventually will, which is the better option), but you want to make sure that your system will behave appropriately when those modes are encountered. Leaving the behavior undefined or trusting the defaults is too risky for anything important.
