I really didnt want to get into a discussion of any particular battle. I used that example as an illustration of arm chair generalship. Like I said, they’re a dime a dozen. Including me. ;^)

I know you didn't. Being a civil war buff, though, I just couldn't resist. The early morning battle plan story of the second day was, I believe, just invented as an attempt to place blame on Longstreet, mostly by Early, in order to cover his own failings.
