>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.
