It's endlessly complex, it asks a great deal if you want to succeed at it, it offers a constant stream of new, rigid tools to absorb, it instructs you at great length about how to use them.

Mm, I see what you’re saying. But it could also be said that it gives you the singular tool of analyzing power relationships, and instructs you to apply that tool as permitted; what distinguishes a captain from a soldier (or a casualty) in the bush war is a feel for opportunity.
