The idea that everyone's armed and ready and aware of the exact threat has probably been shattered more than once by the reality of the issue.

SHHHHHH, If you take the concept of two equally armed opponents who are facing each other and aware of the impending fight out of the equation you take all the fun out of knife work. It's been my observation that people don't like to train things that aren't fun, reality sux even in training. If you train for reality you have to ambush unarmed people and no one likes getting "killed" even in training.
