Paul,

Again another thoughtful article. Your points are well taken on the fallibility of polling data. If the pollsters had been correct in 2016 we would now be more than halfway through Hillary Clinton's second term in office.

Your concerns about the NATSEC community making a hash of narrative and strategic influence are well founded. I have my own tales to tell on this topic but since I don't want a visit by the FBI I will refrain from comment. Suffice it to say that this latest serving of bureaucratic Bouillabaisse reminds me of the axiom that the best way to kill a good idea is to take it to a meeting.
