I like Sun Tzu. He encouraged ganking.
Not when you're in my instance.
I can (depending on ship and loadout) :
High-wake
Low-wake
Outrun and comm "meep meep"
Dodge without deploying weapons whilst sending "OLE" in comms (I use that on rammers)
Menu log with a sarky "LOL" (I never do that)
Actually do some PVP
Discuss science fiction movies/books
Hit them from well beyond 3 km out with long range shield breach lasers and laugh at the comm meltdown over "cheating"
Or a combination of the above. Usually I just send "o7".
Hows that for optional.

You mean that you can TRY all of that.
Whether you're able to do that depends on your opponents skill, loadout and intention. ^^
Everything you do is a try until it's sucessful. ^^
Not if you know in advance how successful it will be.
Which you hardly do.
Good quote there!
Sun Tzu always was pro
success with minimizing risks.
He also sees all interaction
as a type of combat, ranging from
basic survival to social interaction and rhetorics.
Also he did propagate laser weaponry
around 500 years b.c. hidden in chapter 12
"The use of fire"

Seriously ?, the biggest deciding factor is ships.
Say you are in the corvette from your sig and I'm in a speed build, I just need to throttle up to totally control the engagement no need to even touch the pips. Say I'm in my corvette I can tank damage long enough to high or low wake as you can't mass lock me, or I can fight. Add wingmen and or special weapon effects and things get more complicated but still the basic choice of fight, flight or take the mickey is mine so PVP remains entirely an optional thing.
The only ship I have that doesn't have a really easy escape option is my long jump explorer DBX, but then there's not much that can match it's jumprange so I only need to high wake once to be completely safe.

Through infamy, my chains are broken. The bounty shall free me."

That's a sort of criminal version of the mentat mantra.
