OK, simple experiment, if you wish. I don't know if you play video games, but Fallout 4 stuck out to me in that department. Like many games it involves quite a lot of fighting. And, of course, no danger involved for the player sitting behind their desktop. Now add night and many persons firing at each other. Do you want to guess how often I hit a friendly instead of an enemy?
As I said, it's a game, no pressure, just your normal vision in dark conditions with many armed people involved. No nerves, no stress.
That's what combat training is for. Steeling people for that kind of situations and to hone their reflexes.
Maybe they'll start a new nightclub trend: one or two friends won't drink because they're the designated shooters.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
