Awareness is crossing the road to avoid the 5 idiots walking around with knifes/clubs/guns, awareness is reading a situation and predicting an outcome BEFORE it happens.
In a true SitX scenario our powers of observation need to be better than ever, we need to see things before they happen.

Great points!
When I walk into a room, I look at every person, door, and window. Then I pick a spot to sit or stand that gives me a vantage of who comes and goes.

Agreed, but it is impossible to know what to do in 'every' situation. So the OP point of being "aware" and the subsequent posts including being "aware of your own capability" are the key here.
All the skills that can be learned and practiced are extremely important, but they are of no consequence if you are taken by surprise, or if you put too much confidence in your own ability!
I may have been able to outrun those guys in NO, and I am a pretty skilled fighter, but looking at all the options available, and each of their consequences, made me choose to de-escalate and put up a false-front. I don't know if that is something you can learn anywhere?
