Luck was definitely involved. In chaotic situations, such as a battlefield anything can happen. As an example here's a record[0] of Alexander almost dying: At Granicus, Alexander was hit in the head by scimitar-wielding cavalry,

LoL, if there was a way to make paper results reproducible in this cycle maybe I wouldn't mind that much. Even better, give me a chatGPT version that reads a paper and creates a python notebook (or whatever else is appropriate) that re
