Why is that what we'll "naturally" do? Well, because we saw this guy do it. Was he ever trained, or did he ever practice, to do anything else? *Shrug* Who knows? It's what he "naturally" did.
Now, as far as all the other stuff about hunching and auditory exclusion, that may well be natural, but that's not necessarily what I'm referring to.
There was a car chase in Lafayette not too many years back that ended with a stabbing and two officers "naturally" doing two different things with their pistols.
