The dangers of "feckless gun cleaning" and other dendrite stories..

I'm not an 'anti-dendrite', but, somehow I can't take a story like this seriously when it uses phrases like:

"The physiological responses that cause an unintentional discharge—sympathetic contraction, loss of balance, and startle reaction—are all enhanced when an individual is aroused,"

While trying to describe unintended shootings.

Hopefully, this Amy G. Dala can shed some light on this.
