Following that metaphor: it's always a good plan to wear a mouth guard so that your teeth don't get knocked out.

I dont know what serves as the mouth guard in your analogy but it sure as fuck won't stop you from getting laid out.

[dathanb82]

Nah, but you might still have your teeth afterwards.

This is spot on, because often we prepare by wearing a mouth guard, while in reality their protection against getting knocked out basically zero.

Not true, a mouth guard absorbs a lot of impact from the lower jaw upwards.
