I like this answer.

it isn't the way I react, probably because my reflexes won't allow me, but "it is what is is." Whether we (they) like it or not, we are part of the game. Sometimes our actions are genius and sometimes our actions are . . . something else. But this sitch is not a big deal on anyones chart and whatever works, works. Not to mention there aren't any rules prohibiting it.
