I see the author's trump card and play the von Manstein card! "There are only four types of officer. First, there are the lazy, stupid ones. Leave them alone, they do no harm…Second, there are the hard-working, intelligent ones. They make excellent staff officers, ensuring that every detail is properly considered. Third, there are the hard-working, stupid ones. These people are a menace and must be fired at once. They create irrelevant work for everybody. Finally, there are the intelligent, lazy ones. They are suited for the highest office." This seems pretty relevant. Attitude is important to being good, but it inhibits you from becoming great. Likewise, attitude is a requirement to be terrible.
