Why, you may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid
airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table
together--what do you get? The sum of their fears.
--WINSTON CHURCHILL
The two contenders met, with all their troops, on the field
of Catalan to negotiate. Both sides were fully armed and
desperately suspicious that the other side was going to try
some ruse or stratagem. The negotiations were going along
smoothly until one of the knights was stung by an asp and
drew his sword to kill the reptile. The others saw the sword
being drawn and immediately fell upon each other. A tre-
mendous slaughter ensued. The chronicle ... is quite specific
about the point that the slaughter was excessive chiefly be-
cause the battle took place without preparations and premed-
itation.
--HERMAN KAHN, On Thermonuclear War
