The instructor quoted above perhaps advised correctly concerning where a potential victim should focus his attention, but I believe that the actual observable facts, both mirrored earlier in your post and supported by analysis of the mechanics of wounding human beings, indicate that luck ranks very high in the quintet quoted, high enough to displace one and keep it a quintet, rather than making it a sextet.
