It's not about batting "solow" or batting "phasht". It is about batting according to the merit of each delivery by playing high percentage shots ranging from a forward defensive to a hook. One must have the right temperament and sustained focus to do that.
Some deliveries require aggression whilst others caution. Blocking a delivery that can be safely put away for a runs is just as idiotic as lofting a delivery that can be driven along the ground, and swinging or poking at ones that can be left alone. Premeditation is the enemy of good batting under all circumstances.
