I too am perplexed (as usual... ).

While that breaking of physical systems may in some cases be practical and therefor correct, my recollection is that there have been few occasions where it worked and that far more often one thing or another intrudes on the breaking physical entities process and insufficient damage is done to the minds of the opponent -- they just dig deeper and keep fighting...

Those things that intrude and thus deny the success or accuracy of the idea are both friendly and enemy. Perhaps more of the former...
