Some of this may have something to do with luck in outcomes, but there is this sterile and obscurantist quality that is often associated with classroom knowledge that may get in the way of understanding what’s going on in real life.
This is analogous to the DAVID STRATEGY Malcomb Gladwell described in "David and Goliath." I call it the DAVID STRATEGY.
The DAVID STRATEGY is either OUTSIDE THE BOX or REQUIRES TREMENDOUS EFFORT or both. It is a full game FULL COURT PRESS.
By taking a contest outside your opponents box and into your box, you improve the odds.
It's like a fighter pilot refusing to go into their opponents sweet spot of the envelope. You don't get an F-105 into a turning contest. You take it on the deck and fast.
