I think that if you were to poll people in this general bubble “hey, does Duncan put swords away too readily?” you would overwhelmingly hear back “wtf? No, the opposite; he’s too ready to carry and draw swords by default.”
(One of my more popular and also more controversial posts was titled “Killing Socrates” and was in part about how maybe it was actually good that they literally killed Socrates.)
i.e. I think something has been missed or projected; I notice I am confused.
Late edit: The Adams quote seems to be not at all an argument in favor of your position; Adams is pointing at “yeah, obviously we still have problems that require swords but the whole point is to make that less and less the case over time.”
