Not sure I agree, but I'm guessing this horse has been beaten before on
tft@brainiac :)

Let's think of 4-dice to-hit vs a defending opponent, who by the way needs a
weapon to be able to defend. There are conceivably hits that make physical
contact (glancing off the weapon that's being used to defend), even if you
"miss". The point of defending is that it makes it harder to make an attack
that does any damage. Dodging is another story (since it requires no
weapon).
