I'd agree that it is worth pushing your limits during training, but the best-case scenario during actual conflict is to be as close to 0% overwhelmed as you can be.

How does that follow?
That would mean leaving some performance on the table the rest of the time.
It doesn't seem clear at all whether one outweighs the other.
Overwhelming an enemy involves getting inside their OODA loop. I can't see a real life-or-death scenario, outside of training, where you'd want your enemy to successfully get inside your OODA loop and disrupt your flow and rhythm, even for 0.1% of the time.
You of course don't want to become comfortable and complacent, risking losing focus, but there must be better ways of avoiding that other than being occasionally overwhelmed.
It doesn’t matter how many scenarios you enumerate, because the possibility space is infinite.
I don’t see how that could lead to a credible proof, even on the balance of probabilities.
