Bon mot for the week (Sun Tzu is crap series)

"Never let your enemy choose the place of battle."


Sun Tzu (ostensibly 6th Century BCE, but probably legendary)



"Don't make a big deal out of whether it's you or your enemy who chooses the place of battle.  Nine times out of ten he chooses badly."

...to say nothing of the confusion which reigns if your enemy, too, follows this advice. Maybe it's a way of tricking parties from not attending battles at all?

Ah yes, there is no greater triumph than to invite your antagonist at the bar to "step outside" - and then not join him.
