And the only other option besides the readiness to fight, is a flight that is so fast and complete that it amounts to dropping everything

Perhaps that is the only option you see, but I see several others. You don't have to run away, walking works just fine.

BUT if he is . . . turning and walking is NOT going to end well if someone is coming towards you verbalizing obscenities.

You don't know that. I've seen plenty of potential fights defused by one guy walking away. And if it doesn't work, you haven't lost anything.

Walking all away across an empty lot, through the drainage, up the mound to the house, knocking on the door, and waiting for a reply . . . all while a gorilla is closing the distance . . . is not really realistic.

Seems a lot more realistic than standing there waiting to start a gunfight.
