Alternatively, you can see it as

- (Quiet, Lawyer) Watch your target carefully and, when the opportunity presents itself, go for the throat

vs

- (Publicly Yell) Bark loudly at your target with your teeth shown, so that everyone sees you, and the have no choice but to treat you like a rabid dog and put you down.

The problem is that people tell themselves this is what they're going to do and never follow through. It's the perfect way to do absolutely nothing and convince yourself it's the right thing to do.
