Mea culpa.
An interesting post.
I didn’t understand all the technical jargon but do understand there is always an offense vs. defense struggle.
Sort of reminds me of football. For a while the triple option seemed to have defenses on the, well defense. Eventually they figured out how to stop it.
When Alexander’s men faced Persian chariots which had some technological innovations, they figured out how to deal with them, tho not how to ignore them. Same with the elephants in India, or the wagons filled with rocks and rolled down on them in Afghanistan.
