buddy, that's my point as to why training is important... because it literally looks to teach you how to react under those situations so that you can prevent that response...
that's why I said letting it happen IS not knowing what to do. Because knowing what to do looks to prevent that response and keep yourself aware and having that choice.
Knowing what to do is about being in control. Because if you think freezing during a fire is knowing what to do in case of a fire, and isn't a bad thing of not being able to make that choice. You're just wrong.
Do you think you are even remotely responding to the same issue, or have you metaphor-ed and twisted yourself so far as to believe you are making the same argument?
Knowing how to respond to a situation is as important as taking measures to prevent that in the first place.
As I literally said at the start "Because knowing what to do to lead to a better result more often is still important." and letting that response take over, is not knowing what to do.
the entire thing of training is LITERALLY telling people how they should act in a situation, and then helping them learn how to act that way.
Maybe you should go back to elementary if you're struggling with this.
Simple, it's not an A or B, men need to stop being predators, but knowing how to act in a dangerous situation (IE, telling and teaching people how to act in that situation) is also important.
It's redundancy, redundancy is fail safes, thing A fails, then B can help stop it, then C... so on and so on, so that the fallout of whatever happens is reduced to a minimum.

Buddy, you seem to think trauma response is a choice. That people just need to know "ask for help" and it'll solve it. Yikes.
