Wow, I've deep sea fished, fresh water fished and spear fished in the Red Sea. I've never met the calculating "should I bite the yummy morsel dangling from a sharp hook at the end of that line or not?" fish. See, fish are dumb creatures that live on instinct. They eat when food is available / presented. Then when they get hooked or shot they try to swim away.
We have an animal instinct brain too, and the ptw depend on us acting like a herd of dumb animals when they spring their traps, and you know what? We have done exactly that in the past. Some of us have begun to realize (often through the ptw psycho babble counseling to respond vs react) that we do have choices, and we don't have to react in a perceived emergency, but we can make calculated responses.
Even dumb animals in a herd will learn to avoid the "bad" water hole if the hunter does the same thing over and over and they keep seeing their friends mowed down when going to "that" place.
