BBMThis, exactly.
If he says too little, that's not good enough.
If he says a lot, that's not good enough.
Poor guy can never say "just enough."
It is just strange to me that we keep going back to "what I would do." That started from why he used the Find My Phone app, and it is still happening with his statement.
I will be the first to admit that I have no bleeping idea what the actual bleep I would do, and I hope to God I will never have to find out.

Ain't that the truth?! Nobody knows what they would do, and to pretend that they do is preposterous. Even those of us who have been in a traumatic situation might not face the next one the same way.
Fight/Flight/Freeze? Is everybody so sure they would fight or flee? Even if that could cost them their life? The truth is, when that adrenaline & norepinephrine kicks in, you are doing a lot more reacting than you are thinking. You're not sitting behind a keyboard planning your next move. Your body controls more of what you do than your mind does.
One thing we can do is to take a self-defense course to try to rehearse what we can do in the event we are ever attacked or an attempt is made to abduct us. And then review the moves frequently. Be prepared. Those who are able and willing should arm themselves and take a course.
