You missed the "IMHO".

In the Military your generalisation is probably not a self evident truth.

To quote another posters sig. "Knowing what you don't know is more 
important
than knowing what you know." and I would add that that's because what you
do know you can try to deal with.

Enough of the philosophy class.
