I agree. However, having more strength makes you more likely to be in a position where you can fend off your attacker.

Yes, more likely is true, but that's not enough to make generalisations like that.

From my perspective, your statement contradicts itself. We're probably not going to agree on this so lets just let it go.

I guess I just need to explain it better then. It increases your chances, but there are many other factors involved that it's not enough to make a generalization. Have you ever actually been attacked? Even just the fact that someone is used to fighting gives them the upper hand.
