Here we see both the epee fencer's reflexive reliance upon counterattacks rather than ideas of their own and their tendency toward self-delusion. Not only have they decided that the best way to rehabilitate the epee reputation for odoriferous garb is to counterattack by shifting it to sabre fencers, they appear to believe that the tactic can actually work! When anyone who walks by members of the respective groups can tell with a single incautious inhalation where the problem really lies.

A reputation of decades-old standing is not to be shed by such a transparent device. Try again.
