   "Foolish" is in the ye of the beholder. It was a calculated risk since   
   the Jedi can see things in the future (even though not 100%   
   accurately).   
      
   As before, things are labelled "foolish" when they don't work and when   
   they do work they're called "heroic" - it's a very fine line.
