The fog of war is hard because bullets are flying, everything is moving at light speed, you don’t have all the information, and you need to make crucial decisions right now.
It’s easy to be highly critical of decisions after the fog of war has receded. However, that doesn’t benefit anyone.
What would happen if we stopped refereeing the decisions of a good-faith actor in the fog of war and instead judged their adjustments after the fog of war has cleared?
Whenever we make a decision, we might be wrong, but avoiding decisions is the worst of all. Avoiding decisions in the fog of war almost always leads to disaster.
Like anything, do the thing and make adjustments.
