This is an interesting point, and I like having these examples so I can study each one :) Thanks! Although in one of these cases I think they lost because they didn't want to use their technological advantage. e.g. America losing to Vietnam because they didn't want to nuke them, even though the technological advantage was clearly there (i.e. they lost due to morality). Edit: Do you know where Malcolm Gladwell talked about this? Would love to read it.
