- "...it wasn't the best equipment or the number of soldiers that defined a Great General, but rather their ability to quickly adapt and out-maneuver an enemy."
- "...conflict was just a series of decision loops."
The article mentioned most decisions in battle happen instantaneously. This sounds similar to Gary Klein's ideas about Recognition-Primed Decision-making (RPD) where the decision-maker cycles through patterns until he or she finds a familiar pattern to apply to a situation. This is an instantaneous process.
