No, you've just misunderstood my metaphor. You don't wait until the moment where dodging is impossible to dodge something.

Let's compare the two scenarios side by side:

A gun is drawn. -> The gun is aimed. -> The gun is fired. -> The bullet travels at its stated feet per second, giving you no reaction time.

A sword is drawn. -> The sword is aimed. -> The sword-wielder moves to melee range. -> The sword wielder attacks.

Do you understand the disparity?
