consider the suggestion as a whole, not just one part

part 1 says that you can view the time before a grenade explodes; plus, zombies don't get warned if they won't get killed.

according to the human benchmark test the average person's reaction time is 215 milliseconds

if you time it correctly, it's nearly impossible for the zombie to keep up

first, the warning pops up; ~215 milliseconds pass as they instinctively decide to look at the warning sign,

second, they immediately realize they need to shield or dig, but that is a different stimulus posed by their recollection of the warning's meaning and therefore causes the need for an additional ~215 milliseconds to react, plus some very slight additional time as they press the button and the computer registers

and people with below-average reaction time are slightly more common than above-average, so you are given that additional time frame

and don't forget

there are several people who are incapable of dealing with the situation; they may not understand the warning's meaning, they may not be paying attention, or they may not how to shield themselves

therefore there is no issue with the warning

also how is a digger going to dig away, there's grenade flight time, reaction time, and the time it takes to dig

it's unlikely for the digger to escape
