Isn't it true that it's much easier to kill a person bare-handed than to subdue them, especially during a struggle? A blade hand to the throat is much easier to apply than a one hand cartoid choke that takes 10 seconds to render the victim unconcious. A thumb through the eye is easier than a nerve strike that will immobilze. Yada yada.

Any idiot can kill without even meaning to (see it on the news all the time), but it takes skill to knock someone out without permanent harm.
