People ask me what the best way of doing something is. The best way to take a turn or the best shooting position or the best combative for a situation. Obviously if we had perfect information we should be able to come up with the best solution, right?
So why is there SO much disagreement? Which is the best martial art? Are you kidding? Buddha would smack you for asking such a question. Everything depends! Not only that but our information is lacking, sometimes to the point of embarrassment.
So you do what you can with what you have while always trying to learn more. If your fight is with an idiot, it doesn’t take much to win. If it’s with a SEAL team gone bad (because there’s no reason good people should need to fight good SEAL teams 🙂 ), you better have great answers AND be Superman. Real experts have lots of knowledge, but sometimes lots of ego. The quest for truth instead should guide them to being better ‘experts’. Look for the truth. Let nothing else get in the way.
In response to this same type of question I was asking, a friend and mentor of mine once told me ‘you can do everything right and still get killed’. This is a guy who would know. That’s truth. It depends. Prepare, practice, process. Pretty sure no mere human knows the correct answer. The results depend.
