All in all, it is usually a good thing to remember what Machiavelli had to
say about the introduction of new systems

And it ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take
in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, then
to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.

Only if you're a sissy. REAL Men embrace change and have no problem with
being responsible for it. :-)

Just like military officers have no problems leading their men over the
tops of the trenches... and the Gallipoli-like results which may ensue.


Gallipoli was a disaster because of the prevarication of the officers
who failed to realise the dangers of being sniped upon by Turks on
surrounding hills. So they leisurely organised cricket matches rather
than marching off of the beachhead.
