I get your point, but we can't compare the physical body to the mental body. He may have been physically harmed and had his bike damaged, but his mind was healthy and strong enough to fight the protesters and propose a different offer.
And an ill mind can't always think rationally like he did. And an ill mind is not just genetic, but also environmental. The problem with saying it's genetic is it says "That's the way it is", with no responsibility on no one but the treated one, and some responsibility of therapist and psychiatrists, yet when some of them gaslight the client, they can make them feel it's their fault.
Biased to my feelings from therapy and psychiatry, but just because it's biased and I am aware that what I say has an element of bias, doesn't mean it's wrong and surely doesn't mean no one else is aware of it.
