I hear ya and mostly agree, although I think there's still got to be a line there somewhere.

If you really went as fast and hard as you could with an armbar against a gassed and / or overmatched opponent, you could defintely break his arm before he could even react with a tap, and that IMO wouldn't be a reasonable thing to do.

I am pretty sure that isn't what you meant - I did see the rest of your post about holding off on the kimura - but looking at those YouTube vids, there was at least one where it seemed like the attacker just blasted straight through to snap against an overmatched opponent without even a slight pause to give the guy a chance to tap. IMO, that's kind of a dickhead thing to do and will probably come back around eventually.
