I think you're just being stubborn and, in which case, you can't really be reasoned with.

KO stands for "knocked out", in-game as in real-life, when the expression and acronym is most usually associated with boxing matches, where contestants are "knocked unconscious".

It's a common enough misunderstanding within Final Fantasy titles, when players don't see the difference between KO status and actual death.

If healers could bring people back from the dead all the time, you would have to begin wondering why Ul'dah would, for example, have such elaborate rituals for funerals. Everyone and his pet dog would be demanding resurrections any time Grandma drops dead from reasons such as, oh you know, old age, if not a knife in her ribs.
