Some even assume that this “robust intelligence” will deliver not only a clear appreciation for the current situation, but also generate “predictive intelligence” that will allow US forces to “anticipate the unexpected.\" Despite its enthusiastic embrace, the assumption of near-certainty in future war is a dangerous fallacy.”",
