RGR, totally understand what you're saying. I know that my use of the OODA loop is bastardized. But that's where I find the most utility. That layman's bastardized version of the OODA loop is more productive, for more audiences, than the detailed interpretation.
Also, to be totally honest - I find so much utility in this bastardized version that I'm a bit reluctant to analyze every word that went into creating this thing. I'm worried that I'll be disappointed. I don't want to shatter my faith in what is a very useful instructional tool. It's not about neglecting rigor, but about embracing a useful and productive tool to teach ground floor tactical principles.
