11. So you're saying 10-12 seconds to assess what is happening

Is an unreasonable stretch of time?

This is what you're saying? That police who walk into a situation, don't know who the people are (which one's the aggressor?), and see two men holding a hammer should go in flailing immediately? Should they have tackled Paul Pelsoi to the ground just to be safe and then sort out who was who later?

Human beings take half a second to understand what they are seeing. In real life. Not internet commentary life.

So what would be the training here? "Please condition your neurons to have god-like processing power to understand things in a few seconds instead of a few seconds plus a couple?"

And this is the reasonable take?

Hokay. Well, it's the internet, man. Anything's possible.
