War is about efficiency, concerned about the final result. You may loose a battle but win the war.
The analog is neighboring to the painting struggles that we know so well of.
Often we have to do a lot of "boring" work before we see the results. And how often do we feel tempted to jump over the trivial jobs and get to the bravuras ?
I heard of a painter that would defend this sport. : When he was told that he would not live forever, he replied: I know, but I paint as if I do.
