Hell, it even makes ME laugh!
But we are not allowed to think of it in those terms. We have to always see someone's neck and not an inanimate target. How well do you need to swing the sword to do what must be done? Not well at all. You don't even need to swing it. Just laying it on there and pushing will do. (or letting them pull away)
Why would you "Want" to do anything? If someone is trying to kill you, I would help you could let go of desires and focus on survival.

Wanting is an emotion, and holding onto it will hold you back. You have to be clear (mu) and just rely on your training.
If someone is trying to kill you, I would hope you could let go of desires and focus on survival.
I am the LAST guy you should listen to about the "marital" arts.
We are creeping up on the real meaning of mushin.
Yes, for combat purposes, desires and emotions could be considered equivalent.
