I for one have the honesty to admit in in the Gym Scenario, I for one would be doing more harm than good in attempting to take down an attacker....
I would call it belief rather than honesty. "The ideas in your head rule your world." To paraphrase a source or two.

Most of us are not trained to react in a dark environment with screaming, bullets flying, bodies running about everywhere against a shooter who has the advantage of surprise and position....
Most of us are not trained for much of what happens in life period. Does this constitute just sitting on our Hello Kitty thongs, and bemoaning the fates? Godot, Godot, where for art thou Godot?.

So how is that baiting...because some folks THINK they could do some good in that scenario and it hurts their feelings because they cant?
Thinking that you can do something is paramount to doing it. When you think you "cant"... self-fulfilling prophesy.
