Absolutely true, but I'm not sure I would have thought that through in the heat of the moment if I was concerned about losing weeks (or even hours) of work. The number of people who get angry over all sorts of objectively small things, be it road rage or anything else, is ample testimony to the weakness of human nature in this respect. I don't claim immunity from human failings.
