It doesn’t get much talk on gun forums because it is kind of a boring subject; but the non-violent skills are the most important in a deadly force encounter. Basically battlefield prep at the individual level.

^This as well. With the most important one of all being to avoid the deadly force encounter altogether by avoiding circumstances that make it more likely. But still, you can't mitigate everything. That's why we do train on the "violent skills." There are certain cases where everything else was done right, and there was just no avoiding the encounter. It's rare though.

Fortunately when I have gotten my weapon out first the bad guys decided too stop what they had in mind. If you have to draw your weapon and not have to use it call the police anyways and tell them what happened.

As is the case 99% of the time, which is why our hypothetical "Joe Citizen" situation has about a 1 in a million or less chance of happening.
