War as the Mother of Invention





Ady: --> So obfuscation leads to conjecture !!

Phillip Hade: --> I think that you are getting the idea. This then leads others to assume involve themselves in these discussions around the topic of my choosing.

Ady: --> What do you mean 'conjecture'.. that is an awefully long word isn't it ? ... pause... ok I just looked it up in the dictionary...

==> speculation: a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence);

So, what you are doing is creating a situation or point of debate without providing quite enough information to lead to a satisfactory end to the matter. This will in turn lead to further debate and in turn further conjecture.

Phillip Hade: --> Well... you do have a point I suppose. However I think that I will just leave this one hanging in the air.

Yes, you may be right again. I mean that this will just lead to conjecture.

Ady: --> So who is this Guy De Vosse ? You say that he is a fictional character created to "end a pursuit", but don't you

really mean to "pursue an end" ?

Phillip Hade: --> I see what you did there, very clever... 'created from the same mother', 'war'... war being the mother of

invention....smart...but not as smart as you think.

I would ask you to consider the following article, link included below. The article begs you to ask the question ‘Is war the

mother of invention or is invention the mother of war?’ before examining whether or not invention and war go hand in hand.
