There are certain things that have to be done professionally. Technology alone isn't good enough. But if you want to build something and provide true captains, then you must combine both the skill of navigation, the skill of command, the skill of knowing whether you have enough rations for the crew. The other notable thing that I've picked up on during our conversations is that there is a strong warlike element to your conversations. You're dealing with commercial warfare.
Warfare is the proper way to deal with modeling what's going on.
And much of the reason why people are technology-promiscuous is that it is an arms race. An arms race is OK, but then you also have to invest in the generalship, the ability to lead. Ultimately, when everyone has the same weapons, it's the best troops and the best generals who win. And in fact having weapons alone will not win you the war, like we have proven in Vietnam. The timespan in business today for competitive advantage is becoming much shorter.
