The problem with the above scenario is it ASSUMES there was time to add power, climb or manuver. Same scenario and everything looks good, your coming in nice, right up till the last second when another PIC closes the door on your landing. Maybe both were cleared, maybe the second pilot was not, two planes, one space, no way out. The question remains: Who was at fault? Another PIC? Air Traffic? Roush for not being aggressive enough with his own visual scan of a potentially developing situation? Flat out pilot error cannot be ruled out in any case or for any pilot.
I'm remined of an auto crash in an intersection, often the blame gets split, 50/50, or maybe 75/25. In some states, if it happens in an intersection it's all but gaurenteed the fault will be split in some way, no matter how right you feel you might be, or really were!!
