the wording can be easily changed, but that wouldn't make the analogy any less absurd. you know as well as i that even answering the question infers acceptance of any number of premises to which i do not subscribe.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
~ Winston Churchill
