If you look back and see that something is “After You”, there are really only one of two likely outcomes. If it is stronger/faster/whatever than you are you are doomed no matter what you do. If you are stronger/faster/whatever then you will be fine. Either way, it makes no difference for the final outcome, but the between time is a different story. If you know and are doomed, you aren’t likely to get much enjoyment out of the time left, so it is a waste. If you know and will survive, until that’s obvious your time is also likely to be tense, scared, and generally not enjoyable and so once again a waste. The lesson? Don’t look back!
