Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The question presents a fight as a revealing test of the self. By asking how much someone can know without that experience, the speaker casts doubt on self-understanding built without confrontation. Its provocative force comes from making one kind of physical challenge seem central to a much wider personal question.
