Defensive manouvers can work in real life,, because they rely on human anatomy. (duh!)
Many of them rely on neurological processes and responses of human pilot in the enemy aircraft.
Isn't this the basic reason why a manouver like the already described "negative knife edge" work in the first place?
Granted, these manouvers usually will not give you a ready kill on a silver platter. (except e.g. big mistake of the attacker, and a killshot from snapshot in scissors fight, from the defender.)
You must work for your kill in most other cases?
