“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Sorry. It sounds too contrived by "intellectuals" who live only in the airy realms of THEORY and rarely-if-ever in FACT.
The young man is undoubtedly intelligent, but he's too damned cocksure, and presents his ideas in a manner far too pat for someone looks as though he may still be still wet behind the ears.
Just a perception, but I learned to trust my instincts long ago –– not that I've never been wrong, mind you. ;-)
