Something about things being the way they are sometimes just because of people and institutions being set in their ways and not much else.

True enough. Custer's decision to leave the howitzers behind was sound based on his belief that the indians would run away as they had always done before. Heavy artillery would have been useless in a running battle. Unfortunately it just happened to be the day that the indians weren't set in their ways.
