That would be like if McGregor knocked Mayweather out in the first round. The shit is cold blooded.
A young up and coming general is marching his army along a road when they encounter an unmanned wall erected straight across the road. He brashly orders his engineers to dismantle it. His men cheer him for his decisiveness as they march through the newly opened hole in the wall. A wise old general happens into the same situation. He orders his engineers to study it and report back their conclusions as to its purpose. His men groan as they setup camp to await the engineers' findings.
With regards to political etiquette, I'm with the second general, which interestingly enough would make me the conservative.
To be less vague and esoteric: politicians do display this fetishization of humility, and it can be off putting, and it's understandable how a politician who does away with it can feel refreshing. However, there are likely all sorts of benefits to assuming this manner in the political realm. If not, it would be highly unlikely that it would not only be a trait that survives the constant tests of fitness, but one that has come to dominate modern politics.
