    I mean at that point you struggle to escape, but assuming that’s definitely not possible, then sharp sticks hurt less. 🤷‍♂️ “Optimal” does not necessarily mean “good” or “desirable”.

        Yeah, equally deep and long injuries with a sharper implement destroy fewer cells (since they have a smaller cross-section), cause less trauma, and are less disruptive to the surrounding tissues. I know it’s unintuitive, but it’s true.

        The dull stick is going to gouge your eye out entirely. I have no frame of reference of what would hurt more, but I guess that would be it.

            That entirely depends on how deep the stick goes into your eye - though at some point it won’t matter anyway.

              Yes if fired the dull stick out of a fucking cannon it would destroy the eye, how many bits of criteria are we going to add to this (what should be anyway) very straightforward analogy?

                There are times when a clean cut hurts less than a crude one. We’re not talking about actual damage done, which wasn’t part of the analogy to begin with.
