I did present it as second hand info, and I could be misremembering specifics. But I was speaking with folks describing the loadout of their firearm for dealing with bears. They were worried HP rounds wouldn’t penetrate bear hide well enough, and FMJ rounds wouldn’t do enough damage. So they mixed.

On these two points you and the folks I was talking to would agree. “I’m gonna crap my pants and hope it offends the bear enough for them to run away” was definitely given as plan B.
