John Minford, #SunTzu 2:20 "In war, prize victory, not a protracted campaign."
To dive in, we must discuss the term "literal." When I read the commentaries of others, and cringe as I so often do, I hear them say things like, "never fight a war." This is a literal contradiction. No, in war prize victory, not fighting, victory. It's literal.
What's the opposite? Sophistry. False wisdom, yes. But, it's a type of mental trickery. 'I know more than you do. So, listen to me. I'm going to tell you what you can't figure out for yourself.' Bah humbug, I say. I can figure anything out. And the beginning is to be literal.
