(upvote) with caveat .. specialization among advanced training groups is divergent from "whole systems" approach yes, agree.. but careful with undiluted use of the 'control' keyword there.. Discipline among troops/specialists is not exactly the same as extended specialist knowledge, and the means to imbue/acquire specialist knowledge.

This post strikes a nerve here.. considering historical shifts of agrarian or nomadic people being conquered by militaries with advanced supply chains and technology, for example logistics, medicine, personal gear and weapons. Absolutely yes specialization empowered societies to conquer, but also civilian advancements. (the PRC mocks Tibetans as 'stone age people' for example, since they lack most of modern industrial products for transportation and medicine).

Intelligence may rebel against rote indoctrination (paths towards behavioral discipline) yet Intelligence seeks specialist knowledge like a kind of gravity. Lots of patience on this topic, please, its crucial !
