I think the situation fits within the rules. The moment was certainly amusing, but it doesn't warrant such a heated discussion. I agree with Dirty and Co. that nothing should be changed; the current wording of the rule has been tested over the years, and the attacker is responsible for initiating the battle and should understand this. The example with chess is incorrect because in chess, there is one single game, not divided into many small battles; there is no attacker and defender.
