Again though - it's belaboring the point that Scott didn't try to beat Liam down at all, so the exchange wasn't a fight.

Although that statement leads us into a character argument. Scott, having been Bitten rather than born a werewolf, is VERY much aware of what the first few full moons are like. Putting anything less than the best possible effort into containing Liam counts as criminal negligience, since he knows full well that Liam could potentially hurt or kill somebody. Scott, at least in some early shift incidents, had Stiles, somebody he loves and trusts, trying to talk him down.

Why would Liam, a new student who does not know Scott well, Bitten, kidnpapped and tied up by Scott be in anything even remotely receptive in terms of mindset.

Now we're back from "Scott is weak" to "Scott is an idiot". Although we had suspicions when his "Welcome to Werewolfhood!" speech borrowed heavily from Derek's, which Scott himself didn't buy at the time.
