The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. … — The Art of War
SAPIR 861
The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose.
