@polymerwitch “[Before the battle of Passchendaele] the Tanks Corps Staff prepared maps to show how a bombardment which obliterated the drainage would inevitably lead to a series of pools, and they located the exact spots where the waters would gather. The only reply was a peremptory order that they were to ‘Send no more of these ridiculous maps.’ Maps must conform to plans and not plans to maps. Facts that interfered with plans were impertinencies.”

@polymerwitch This assumes that people subscribe to your idea of ethical. Plus by telling people not to you are expecting everyone to instead be a cog in your agenda. Goes both ways.
