both
if he was so logical he'd win the argument with logic

not necessarily

logic is subjective
from an outside perspective, logic dictates to try to win the argument verbally
but from an internal perspective, evolution has driven logic to fight or flight: if something threatens you, you either kick the shit out of it to the best of your ability, or you gtfo.
not so illogical, when you think about it. just socially illogical.


logic is associated with conciousness and fight/flight is never a concious decision - it's a reflex-driven impulse, and reflexes operate autonomously without concious processing, otherwise it would make for a one slow and useless reflex and thus can never be justified as a logical decision. But either way you cant use the "fight or flight" mechanism to support your argument in this case anyway unless you're talking about guy B's reaction to guy A's attack
