I assume you are talking about using the jab in the ring. Street fights don't usually last long or stay on the feet much anyway.
When I was a younger man and training with my boxing coach we were conditioned by him with a punch specific weight program that resulted in our being able to throw full power jabs with a 3lb weight in our hands for 36 minutes non- stop. He believed the jab was underrated, underutilized and underpowered; hence the training. When you can jab like that it doesn't matter what your intent is, feeling him out, distracting him, or knocking him out it is powerful and available to be used at your discretion. It becomes fast and powerful.
