It doesn't have to be a nice experience for it to be an educational one. I would personally welcome such an experience, because I have no idea whether or not I could actually handle it. I certainly have loads of theory that tell me I could do it, and I've had the training to deal with an attacker, but can I apply it in the heat of the moment, or am I going to panic and break? I can't foresee that. Whatever the outcome, it signals what I am ignorant of.
