Master Sun talks often about deception and therefore warns against being deceived by the enemy and underestimating their ability. ‘He who exercises no forethought but makes light of his opponents is sure to be captured by them.’ It’s important to properly assess your opponent without prejudice or assumption. Sun Tzu's The Art Of War

Does having a decent knowledge of physics count as forethought?

Seriously, if you are going to quote Sun Tzu at me in an attempt to refute a scientific argument, you don’t really have a grasp of the technical aspects of this issue.

I possess three different translations of The Art of War. Sun Tzu discusses the use of nuclear weapons in exactly none of them. What, however, does he say about giving your enemy too much credit?
