If as I understand it this is about the lion or tiger prevailing in a confrontation then what about the great matter of MORALE.
In any fight between them which animal at that moment has the greater inner strenght and conviction of its cause then the other.
For Example lets say um well how about the debates on these forums.
Surely the side with the excellent authority plus the logical mind plus the earnest desire for the truth and all round good will to the better side has a great morale or inner confidence to prevail in all or most matters to any unbiased observer. While
the other side struggles against authority well accepted and ancient plus is forced into logic desperation plus wanting to win then come to shared acceptance of truth plus under stress abusive and defensive depending on the situation will be sinking like some old 19th century "theories" of nature.
However being animals and having no relation to the essence to man perhaps morale is not a problem to these kitties.
