Point to ponder.

I’d love to see Sun Tzu alive and a poster on FR. All these PDS types would tell him he was an idiot and didn’t know what he was talking about.

18. All warfare is based on deception.

19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we
are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder,
and crush him.

21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him.
If he is in superior strength, evade him.

22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to
irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.
If his forces are united, separate them.

24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where
you are not expected.

25. These military devices, leading to victory,
must not be divulged beforehand.

What would Sun Tzu think if he arrived to a point of battle and the other army had already arrived, taken the castle, killed all the people, then left their heads on pikes?

Sun Tzu believed in preparation, not just hanging back while his army creeps away thinking he has no idea what he is doing.
