Formlessness vs. Cluelessness

"If I determine the enemy's disposition of forces while I have no perceptible form, I can concentrate my forces while the enemy is fragmented. The pinnacle of military deployment approaches the formless: if it is formless, then even the deepest spy cannot discern it nor the wise make plans against it."
-Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Chapter 6: Vacuity and Substance

"I admit the best way to ensure operational security is to not even know, yourself, what you're doing. But it sure makes life hell on your logisticians."
-Me
