I honestly don't think it's limited to IT workers. Some people just aren't confrontational people and would rather make an easy life for themselves.
Plus, you have to only consider the repercussions of being confrontational in certain situations.

I haven't had problems though - those kinds of people sense I am with the lawful evil alignment.

I have seen these guys in action.
I was thinking more along these lines.
A livestock guard dog that can't hold its own against a wolf would be a very bad guard dog.
> An athletic dog, the Komondor is fast and powerful and will leap at a predator to drive it off or knock it down. It can be used successfully to guard sheep against wolves or bears.
I dunno. Further googling:
> Bred to drive away predators, not hunt them, the powerful Komondor will try to kill any animal that foolishly chooses to fight back.

I dunno. It seems they kill coyotes not too infrequently, but it doesn't seem like wolves usually stick around long enough to kill or be killed by a Komondor, indeed. Wolves don't generally choose to fight animals that can fight back, which I guess is the message of the original aphorism. But if the wolf stayed to fight, the Komondor would fight it to the death one way or another, and their ridiculous looking coat is apparently actually pretty good defense against predator's teeth, and they've got very powerful jaws. At any rate, it's clear the Komondor is a fearsome fighter, despite looking like a stuffed animal to us, heh. And it doesn't protect the herd merely by sounding the alarm, but by being powerful enough to defend against wolves, for sure.
Wait, what's this thread about again?
... but Liam Neeson!

I know someone that has four of them. Conversations in the room with the dogs present tend to be very friendly ;)
One of them mentioned that there was 3 kinds of soldiers.
First was the one that would refuse to leave his foxhole once the shooting started.
Second was the kind that would storm the enemy at every chance.
Third would also storm, but only if it meant that his probable death could save the life of his fellow soldiers (and/or civilians).
His final remark was that the British army needed less of the first two and more of the third.
