Not wanting to get into a long discussion about all this which I won't ... just saying that if you read about how we conducted fleet operations in the Pacific for one, and two, the Japanese had a cut and dried method of warfare (evening chats about history) - we didn't ...they, the Japanese, thought we'd fight one way ... we didn't ... we cheated on every method possible to defeat them including breaking their codes ...
So for me that's all I'll say about it ....
Doing something other than what the opposition expects is not cheating.
Please, let's leave the redefining of words to the liberals.
