They say this about sports, which is (usually) a zero-sum game: If I'm attacking, no matter how badly, my opponent cannot attack at all. Therefore, it is preferable to be attacking.
In cyber security, there is no reason the opponent cannot attack as well. So, my red team is attacking is not a reason that I do not need defense, because my opponent can also attack.
My post was really was in the context of real-time strategy games. It's very, very possible to attack and defend at the same time no matter the skill of either side. Offense and defense aren't mutually exclusive, which is kinda the point of my post.
