I don't really agree. Preperation is a good counter. Musashi, for example, never bathed because he was vulnerable when naked and in a bath. He took similar precautions with everything. One time he felt comfortable enough to bath they tried to boil him alive... He burst out and killed everyone. LOL. Also, Samurai that had trained well could feel peoples emotions, they would know when they were being stalked. I am not saying that they had the end all, but just your statement is not 100%.
yes a master swords man can always outdo his enemies...
but in general no one can counter an unseen attack done with speed.
