common sense people will name your shield rising a successful defense, not a crushing victory because "I've failed to meet my objective for which I was swinging my sword, namely to wound your flesh"

go figure that!

So if you swung your sword to damage someone, and they parried your blow, would you then just walk off? And in you example, you'd retreat totally unharmed - are you suggesting the Luftwaffe lost no aircraft or pilots.

To make you comparison like the Battle of Britain, a single German aircraft flew to Britain, fired some shots at a British aircraft, missed and realised there was no way Germany would win the battle, so retreated, with no losses on either side. If that had happened, there wouldn't have been a 'Battle of Britain'.

Once again you analogies are ridiculous, and do not change the facts.
