Heard something this morning about curiosity that triggered an interesting idea.

You should approach your opponent's positions with curiosity rather than judgement because curiosity is a prerequisite to advancement and knowledge. Those who approach an opponent's position with judgement are condemned to regress and remain ignorant as others move ahead of them.

Not a bad way to start the thought for the day.

More accurate intel (and knowledge) are always a good thing - but if you have tactical superiority, press your advantage; your goals are more important than your opponent's reasoning.  Maybe reflect later? See if he had some good ideas, as an after-action kind of thing. . .

Also, it can boil an egg at thirty paces. Whether you want it to or not, actually. So I've learned to stay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow.
