Yes, quite, not to mention (as I did before) that TFT ALSO includes the Berserk rules, which DO allow some hyped up figures to ignore injury for a while.
Also, the interesting thread Erol provided the link to goes back to an FBI study where one of the main points is that most injuries, even light ones, completely take most people out of combat entirely. This matches the experiences I have seen first-hand of people being taken out by a light blow that did essentially zero damage. The exception that Erol and many of that people focused on, however, were the weird exceptions where some people didn't go down and weren't affected by lots of damage. Again, see Berserk in TFT.
