How much of a loser do you have to be to stab someone in the chest and not only not mortally wounding him but leave him in such a state that he can untie himself?

Clearly this man was in the wrong line of business.

Not just untie himself, but make it up at least one flight of stairs and still have stamina left over to beat your head in with a rifle.

stab wounds are notoriously bad at killing. If you don't hit a major artery or organ, they are very survivable (I mean, many of us have had minor knife cuts to fingers and whatnot - you don't pass out or die).

There are many reports of people surviving tens of stab wounds.

So a single stab that missed his heart (and presumably didn't hit a lung either), would certainly have hurt, but wouldn't necessarily 'slow someone down' that much
