Pierre, I could not agree anymore with your analysis! If you smash the wolf`s face, how can you know where the other hidden wolves are, and their plans to come for the other goats? I believe, the effectiveness of this wolf could block all their plans to come for another goat, which can save the rest of the goats. Watchout Bro!

You see Jabou, the problem here is; assuming, your one and only goat got missing and suddenly a wolf knocks at your door to claim that he knows who ate your goat and how; you should not only become suspicious of that wolf, but if possible, use a base ball bat to smash the wolf's face and disable it immediately, before you may proceed to listen to the remainding story it may have to tell. No matter the story this wolf tells you Jabou, the bottom-line is, 'all wolves are hungry for goat meat' So, how could you declare atonement for a single wolf because it is claiming it has a story to tell?
