I have a theory that in a lot of confrontational situation "the average joe" could be a lot more dangerous than a martial artist. "The average joe" would most likly not be able to stay as calm in a fight as most martial artists and that makes him dangerous not because he knows what to do but because he doesent know what to do and just becomes frantic with no set plan. This is the same principle applied to never backing an animal into a corner because a panicked animal can hurt you a lot but a panicked human can do the same. Also I would venture to guess that a non martial artis would not know the limits of what he can do to some one before serious injury or killing him.
