I think he gets that he's cornered, but he's a fighter. He might run out
and bite your ankle though if you keep tormenting him. The fight or
flight response reduces to only the fight response when there is nowhere
to run. A cornered animal would never contemplate defeat, it isn't in
their nature.

A cornered animal perhaps, but more like turtle. I gave him an out, but
he refuses to try.

He will retract into his shell and just counter with his standard
repettoire. The trick is to get him to stick his head out of the shell.

You need to get him to say something other than the repettoire and he
crucifies himself.

I think he figures he is trying the Ali Rope-a-Dope, but he needs to
look out for the Parkinsons.
