Document Summary
Examples of intelligence working at the ones we tend to draw from wwii ultra, for example. Intelligence effects competition all the time, works dramatically different in one competition than another. Often with intelligence, you know something is going to happen and you can"t do anything about it. Informed but can"t use it to do anything. Or, ultimately, you try to do something and fail in the execution even though the intelligence was good enough to try to do something. Any kind of human compeition is one where good intentions don"t necessarily deliver victory. Two cases of intelligence enabling: a counter ambush against one navy attempting their own ambush. British and americans at different points plan counterambushes against germans. Tactical british defeat, though strategically not a failure. Role of intelligence in these competitions is identical, but so many other factors affect an encounter than you"re not guaranteed to succeed.
