first let me say I completely agree with you, but a better analogy would be instead of dodging, if you fail to block you do get hit but it only glances, or it didn't hurt, or you ignore it, which is a little more wordy but more at what happens with FNP.
This is also where a lot of the argument is coming from with the "unsaved wound" and FNP. Because they still got hit by the punch others think that they take the test before FNP, but said punch didn't do anything so why should anything trigger from it.
