Goktimus, From now on Angel will be known as Seven of Nine!

From what you described, things would work fine in a world where there's perfect information. That means, you know how many intruders, you know if they do / not carry weapons, you know their intention.

It also assumes that you can obtain this information without affecting the system. ie. you can find these things (as mentioned above) without putting yourself at a disadvantage.

In reality, information is imperfect and the act of observing the system could change the system.

It comes down to the question: What is your objective? If it is survival, it may be necessary to make some assumptions about the system and act upon them if doing otherwise may compromise the ability to survive.

If however your objective is to survive AND not having to face a potential court case (go to prison), then it is reasonable that the solution to the problem could be different. Given that survival / prison may be competing objectives, satisfying one to some degree may compromise the other.
