Yes, accidents do happen in sparring, but we're talking about avoidable accidents that you wouldn't expect, like being stabbed.
He's either lying or confused about what the word accident means. Or maybe like I said, he meant it was an accident that he couldn't control himself. It's not like he accidentally stabbed Spiderman, that was clearly his purpose.
Wolverine wasn't at all hurt from Spiderman hitting him against the wall. He was never in any danger of being seriously hurt.
Doesn't matter. Spiderman began his legitimate counter attack first.
Once more, he wasn't expecting to elicit a response out of Wolverine? You said it yourself, he knows what Wolverine is capible of. You "expect" the unexpected in fighting, and that goes for any fighting. You have to be prepared for a multitude of different scenarios wheather that means you take an accidental elbow or not.
As I already said, I'm in no position to say which part was the accident, whether he meant to throw a fake and it landed, or simply didn't mean to cause as much damage as he did, he confirmed several times that it was an accident. To keep insisting otherwise is just self serving on your part because you're flat out ignoring what you don't agree with.

So I am to believe that Wolverine gave Peter too much credit on what he could take, but he also was aware to what degree that his attack would harm Spiderman...what? He clearly didn't think it would harm him that much given that he assumed it was a sccratch.
Don't see what's hard to understand about that.

Obviously, Wolverine didn't know how much damage he was doing with his claws, you don't pass out from blood loss from just a little scratch. And let's assume it was an accident, like you say, how would Wolverine be able to pick and choose where he struck Spiderman and how much damage he was inflicting, if he wasn't intending to stab him in the first place?
Jeezus, do you mean you're taking the term scratch literally now? WOW... yeah you're comprhensive abilities are only used to suit your P.o.v instead of remaining objective.
We both know that it was a simplistic term that while not meant to be taken literally was used to exibit what level of attack Wolverine assumed he used, which wasn't life threatening or lethal.... Clearly given Peter's reaction.
Wolverine can cut the wings off a barfly and your asking me about his assumptions on accuracy?
Like I said, I don't know which part was the accident which makes it harder to interpret at which point Wolverine lost control. Was it physical? Dunno. Mental? You seem to think so, but when Wolverine loses it, it's usually damned transparent.

This is what you said, you seem to be implying that his healing and durability would provide any kind of protection against Wolverine's claws. I may have exaggerated too much, but you should get the point, and that's that it's laughable to think his durability would be a factor when Wolverine can stab Hulk, and that his healing would make a difference mid fight.
"Any"? No... enough to keep him alive against an attack that wasn't meant to be lethal in the first place? Yes.. as again should be obvious.
Never said that his HF would matter mid-fight, but it would clearly help him deal with a wound which wasn't that big a deal in the first place, his own fault for over exerting himself thereafter.

Hyperbolic statement to better prove a point. It was obviously not a little scratch, you can't honestly think that..
The same way it wasn't an intentionally lethal attack, which you honestly couldn't think as well.

As for this only going one inch in business, where are you getting that? It looks like at least half the length of the claws went in Pete's body. You don't think being stabbed in the torso and bleeding to the point of passing out is potentially lethal? You think stabbing someone while saying "Tag you're it" shows that it was an accident? OK.
I already told you I'm in no position to say which part was the accident, and neither are you, all we know is that it was one and to keep insisting otherwise is an attempt to discredit at least several various confirmations to that fact.
Again, Peter's fault for over exerting himself while bleeding, you don't think engaging in fast paced physical combat using strength and agility, would make the effects of the wounds worse? Okay.

Except the principle doesn't work. You expect certain attacks in a sparring match, like being punched, whether it is a little harder than you agreed upon doesn't really matter, you're expecting those kinds of attacks. You, however, are not expecting attacks that can really hurt you. Spiderman was not expecting Wolverine to attack him in a fashion that could really hurt him.
Uh yeah it does unless you ignore certain parts of the example.. as you are currently doing.
In a "training" scenario where IM speared Luke Cage, SW was trying to zap Steve, and Wolverine had already lunged at Spiderman with his claws out..... during which Spiderman who counterattacked Wolverine with a slam hard enough to send steel debris flying, didn't "expect" to elicit a response from Wolverine? Even though he has hyperactive senses and borderline precognition that tells him to expect one...... Uh huh,, that's not an excuse at all.
And in response to that last bit, Wolverine clearly didn't assume he was going to really hurt Peter with something he deemed twice to be a scratch.

The "fight" didn't show anything we don't already know:
We know Wolverine can take multiple punches, we know when he can cut the webbing he can escape, and we know Wolverine can hit him, but the ease in which he stabbed him in the sparring match isn't congruent with how their real fights have gone.
Do you perform as well in sparring as you do in a real fight? Would you do the same careless moves you do in sparring in a real fight? I'm not saying, nor have I ever said, that Wolverine can't hit Spiderman, but Spiderman, also can and has dodged Wolverine's attacks as well. The things that happen in a sparring match are not clearly translatable to what would happen in a real fight. Spiderman would not put himself in a position where Wolverine could easily attack him with his claws while he had no way to escape, defend, or attack himself. He knows what Wolverine is capable of, and had it been a real fight between the two he would have been less careless, as he has shown in their actual fights.
I'm not sure what you mean, the ease....
Wolverine missed Spiderman once and hit him on a second attempt.. Given that in other scenarios he's landed his first strikes or pounces on Spiderman it doesn't come off THAT easy looking.
And..
Spiderman didn't put himself in any kinda bad position.. He was in mid air jumping away WHILE continuing his counter attack.. he got hit in spite of all that ON TOP of Pete's spider sense... Again, nothing you say here comes off as anything other than an excuse.
I'm not sure what you think is careless about continuing to try webbing Wolverine down while bounding away but your perogative I guess.
