Can't fault Kenneth's logic here.

Can you imagine the agony of needing an Improbable hit to get your (clearly)
desperately-needed DI result, only to see it fail because your subsequent dr
meant it hit the turret?  I think I would just surrender at that point ....

The other potential irony is trying for a DI and getting lots of ROF, except
that because you're getting ROF you're probably hitting the turret.
