I’m wondering why you wrote this article. (gensym) you’re describing and assigning the name “war” has virtually nothing to do with any real world “war” situations, so you could as well describe it as a thought experiment, or use some less loaded metaphor.
I think the point of this post is simply to confront head-on a scenario that’s taken to be a reductio ad absurdam of “rationalism shouldn’t lose to irrationalism”. I don’t see this as intended for practical purposes under conceivable circumstances.

Too high connotation to denotation ratio for me.
Why do you say that?
