We live in an age of participation ribbons where there are no "losers" so I guess it should be expected that when someone quits over a toothache that we hold them up in such esteem. No wonder we have lost our edge in just about every area of society. It does no good to over achieve as you will just have to give those below you praise and participation ribbons.

Terrible logic. Is a toothache the same as a broken ankle? Is danger of breaking your kneck the same as a toothache?Please dont agitate the mod! Its not good to agitate him!

Look up a famous book 'straight and crooked thinking' by Thouless.
