That's my stance as well.
As my father's favorite joke about a guy who goes up in a tree while hunting and runs into a bobcat. Poor guy is in an awful fight and tells his buddy below to "Shoot Shoot!"
Buddy says, "I can't...I might hit YOU!"
"Shoot anyway...one of us has to get some relief!"
Yes, it is a Jerry Clower story called “Knock ‘em out John”. He was a great story teller.
