Exactly my thoughts- the literal least degree of restraint would be ideal. Rory Miller, in the book Meditations on Violence: A Comparison of Martial Arts Training & Real World Violence, stated that there is 'a flaw in training.' By that, he meant that when practising and sparring, you will be lacking something as you will be not be attempting to kill or disable your partner as you would in a real battle. Yet it is not practical to disregard that deliberate flaw completely, for obvious reasons. A problem to meditate on indeed.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.
