Zeus, This reminds me of bayonet training in the Army. When you stick a bayonet in a human, it is difficult to remove, and you want to extricate it quickly in case there is another customer coming. One of our less bright recruits asked our instructor the easiest way to remove a bayonet. "If you fire a round, the recoil will allow you to remove the weapon easily from the corpse."

If I have a bullet in my rifle, I'm not gonna use the damned bayonet. <g> If we have plenty of fossil fuel around, we aren't going to need hydrogen.
