I watched a UTube of GEN Mattis (cited in some thread).

In the course of which, he explained why EBO does not work in an open complex environment, as opposed to a closed complex environment. Explanation all in terms of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which he correctly applied - without mentioning the Principle by name !

That guy is not only smart, he is sly. As a Marine, you don't want to give away your Intellectual Quotient !
