"Can you see where this could go?"
Sure can. It can lead one to make this sort of statement:
"Sometimes the level of martyrdom on this forum is amazing."
Which may be logical but I suspect misses the emotional and psychological aspects by a great distance.

Logically, no one would ever go to war; it is undoubtedly one of the most stupid if not the most stupid of human endeavors. Logically, no one would ever want to be a soldier, it's entirely too risky -- yet people do want to be and are Soldiers. Why is that?

War transcends logic.
