A: I don't know. I hope not-- this meme (along with Monkey/Robot and Caveman/Astronaut) has been around so long, everyone is so deeply entrenched in their beliefs couldn't change your mind even if we wanted to-- and no matter the scenario, someone would take issue with it (not stealthy enough, not nautical enough, etc. etc.). Get the entire internet to reach a consensus on how we should simulate the fight, and then MAYBE we'll do it.
Nice. Get the internet to reach a consensus. Didn't Cory Doctorow do a short story about that?
