Appraisal Theory: the knife is not the threat. The context is.

Red team and blue team carry the same tools. Same blade. Different intent.

Fear the dull edge — it slips, it forces, it gets caught.

Embrace the sharp one — it's precision, like evasion, picking the right TTP at the right moment.

Sharpen your edge first. Then push ideas beyond it.
