Well said. The way I put it, the hero jumps into the cockpit and lands the plane in storm without once asking if there’s a certified pilot on board. It is “Heroic Responsibility” because it isn’t responsible without qualifiers. Nor is it heroic, it’s just a glitch due to the expected amount of getting laid times your primate brain not knowing about birth control times tiny probability of landing the plane yielding >1 surviving copy of your genes. Or, likely, a much cruder calculation, where the impressiveness appears to be greater than the chance of success seem small, on a background of severe miscalibration due to living in a well tuned society.
