Sorry. I have the impression that you are intentionally misunderstanding me. I just can’t read that as genuine desire to understand what I (or Grossman) mean but as to use your own metaphor soldier arguments.
For example “stop on game” over was admittedly simplistic but you could have read it as including “stop on command” which is the actual case mentioned by Grossman. He doesn’t claim that “game over” stops the children but actual commands (probably by caregivers) did in attempted violence cases.
I am not trying to misunderstand you. But try stepping away from Grossman’s claims and looking at it from your own eyes.

This is nonsense on stilts. “Stop on command” is one of the first behavioral patterns taught to small children as soon as they are able to understand and respond (and for good reasons, too). This is reinforced in daily life, in school, etc. Making someone stop on command has nothing at all to do with computer games.
