If you zoom way in on a combat, and lower the camera view to "eye level" with the units, alot of things become clearer. Many of the arguments about what units should or shouldnt do becomes much less "obviously logical" from that viewpoint.

That still doesn't adequately explain why units can't be ordered to stand there, an order they attempt to carry out as long as their morale holds out, after which they head for the hills like everyone else.
