      You are assuming that the defender knows how to control his blows or their impact.

      I think most people know not to punch others in the face if they can restrain or get away safely.

      Most people, yes. It's not his responsibility to know that though. He may have been terrified.

      If you attack someone, you are responsible for consequences both intended and unintended.

      Not solely when those consequences come from another person with agency.

      "With agency". Yes. In other words, defender must have the ability to decide ->

      to respond proportionally. If he doesn't know how to fight, he can't make that choice.

          She is responsible for her attack, he for his defense. He quit after 1 punch.
