A comment on Game theory article from a professional Starcraft player/caster.. Parent comment
"The pinnacle of military excellence is not to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles. It is to subjugate your enemy without fighting."
Eg, to have the foresight and strategy to circumscribe and constrain your adversary's degrees of freedom until the only one left is capitulation.
Pretty cool that there are videogames rich enough for that to be applicable.
