Know where to get it doesn't necessarily equate to readily available.

Beyond that I'll only add:

1) Lots of things happen that you don't plan for, and

2) The most efficient killers don't throw their full prep wack at every fight they get into. This is both because you can't manage much killing when you're spending most of your life farming preps, and because most people can tell when they're badly outclassed in the DR department and just choose not to fight. It's very hard to kill someone who knows early on they should make a run for it.

It's like democracy, in that it's not perfect, just the best that's ever existed or been proposed so far. Beyond that, I'm not interested in having the same argument as to why again.
