 You're forgetting that tigers are better killers than most because they
have the ability to stalk and use strategy to pick off the easy prey.  It's
fallacious to assume someone is a better killer based only on only the
strength of the body.
 You seem quite content to use other fruits of mankind's intellect (holding
a disembodied conversation over electronic machinery as just one example)
which was originally designed for the purposes of war.
