I'm not dismissing you by telling you that you're asking for someone tho choose two options when those options wouldn't be the only two options.
Sure you can define the thought experiment in such a way so that no other options exist, but that's a very unhelpful and unrealistic thought experiment. In a real situation the only options wouldn't be "stab the person to death" or "turn the other cheek".
Yes, they would be the only two options since the scenario I described could only include those two options. How is that so hard to understand?
