I'm sorry Bill but Disparity of Force is a well known, well understood, well used, well... well, it's a well worn legal concept.Show me the cite and I will correct my statement.
Here's a few discussions from Lawyers and Expert Witnesses.

There are an absolute crap-ton of other citations.
By the way, if you ever think you might have to use force in self defense, in particular if you every (even infrequently) carry a firearm for self defense, I very strongly recommend that you get some sort of "self defense insurance" product such as offerings from The Armed Citizen's Legal Defense Network, Texas Lawshield, United States Concealed Carry Association, Second Call Defense, Carry Guard, or some other similar product.
I'm aware of a great number of situations in which a legally innocent person who engaged in justified and legal self defense was put through the wringer.
Peace favor your sword,
