While true, I was referring to approaches that have a little more finesse.
I am sure most bare-handed killings are largely accidental or the result
of sustained trauma rather than the result of efficiently executed
intent. People who have actually had some training in the art can do it
quickly and easily with a great deal of precision, which is a different
kind of ability and what I was actually referring to.
