In "David and Goliath," Malcolm Gladwell tells a story about the bombing of
London in WWII. What the Nazis expected (and British authorities, too) was
that panic would sweep London, demoralizing the citizens. Unexpectedly, the
opposite happened. Because, as Canadian psychiatrist J. T. MacCurdy
deduced, the dead don't panic and those nearly killed are few; and the far
more numerous, those who survived multiple attacks unscathed, felt
invincible.
