Your stated tendency to walk away from some fights is likely an understanding that the price of victory could be too high. The punchline from the movie "War Games" comes to mind. "The only way you win is to not play."
Do we really want an answer to that…
For the record, no, I don't want an answer.
If such a difference exists then it is small and temporary and its revelation will only do harm, and then there is that near-total overlap.
