@heavyimage @steve @dev yes, this must be where I got the idea!

Like the article says, the best is when they start trying to explain and analyze purely abstract concepts. I remember reading one about “commander’s intent”. Not any specific commander’s intent, but the very idea of intent itself.

They are truly powerpointing at a level the rest of us cannot even comprehend.
