As I pointed out earlier, your logic is sound.
To walk past a dying man on the way UP, however, raises a lot of questions for me. Kind of like finishing a game with the oppositions man lying dying on the court.
It would be very different if it had occured on the way down.
Not that it matters, but I hope this dogs those guys for a long time.
I know it does. I don't see the calm safe atmosphere of a "game" as an appropriate analogy though.
