Hey I am not gonna argue with your personal axioms. They are pretty sound.
Low flying aircraft in an area that was hit by several of those would make me do three things, in a rational matter:
- Walk at a speedy jaunt, away
- Get into an undignified jog away
- Run like a zombie attack is happening
Now, best case is that I get some good cardio and make a few friends. Worst case is… Well, I don’t actually have a worst case.

Perhaps you missed it, but when I mention strategy it is always in the context of evolution. As in the presumptive strategy is the survival strategy evolution has selected for. This is not to say there is some conscious self awareness involved. Quite the contrary. Evolutionary survival strategies are usually hard wire behaviours developed over millennia which require no deliberation whatsoever. As such, your conclusion based on your mistaken view of my position can be dismissed.
Are we not participants in the discussion? Or, to put it another way, can we expect this sort of off topic misdirection and insinuation every time your argument flounders? Again, I use we here as a member of those who might read your posts.
I think you mistake or conflate evolutionary survival stratagem with strategy formed by conscious decision which is very telling. You seem to believe that behaviours hard wired in to our being such as fight or flight responses are going to be subject to goals and conscious decision making.
The immediate response complex life has to danger is a physiological one. It is not a mental process one can hone. It is a release of catecholamines such as epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and dopamine that we first experince. This response is not subject your to will or risk assessment. Again, risk analysis sounds nice and everything but evolution has already tried your approach to threats and since all of those animals were killed and eaten, we are left with the winning strategy, presumption of personal threat and the reaction to that presumption. This reaction keeps us alive even if it does annoy you personally.
