While the outcomes you mention are more or less unavoidable/will lead to similar events in other bases, I find this happens to me more often than I’d like to admit; in social encounters, after a certain amount of diplomacy or smooth talking skullduggery, my lizard brain goes “waaagh, talkety-talk-talk, Hulk smash!”.
And just like that, the bar for violence is doing limbo in hell.
