Well thats rather convenient. What a smoke-and-mirrors turn of phrase, how about something that is not so open ended like the 'maximum justifiable extent'.
The *world* is rather open-ended, don't you think?

Look, I happen to believe people have the right to defend themselves. Further, I don't believe they need to wait for assault to become battery to be justified in doing so. Why give the bad guys the advantage?

There's a sticker you can buy in pilot's shops; it's intended to be placed on mirrors. It reads "You are looking at the person responsible for your safety."
