My looking at history is that this isn't quite correct. It is the most restrained aggressor/tyrant who winds up getting targeted.

That may very well be the case, and if so, it's positive evidence that Tsipursky Rage is not a relatively important factor in motivating peoples' behavior. Which is consistent with my instincts.
