Outsurvive

It is not the case that A outsurvived B because A had greater fitness. If A outsurvived B, it was because A possessed some set of properties, P, that B lacked.

In war, merely to outsurvive the enemy can be an advantage. He who survives can communicate his outsurvival to headquarters, meaning that the masters he serves will know of the outcome of his struggle even if he dies shortly thereafter.
