as I mentioned above, the idea that 'well if they got that far you already lost' comes off as video game logic. You don't have a reset button or save point to go back to, you die. So even if it gives you ridiculously thin odds, or even if those added odds are just perceived ... You do it. Much like the ww2 tankers who put sand bags on their tanks.
