Yet again you've produced the perfect article at the exact time I needed it.
I'm uncomfortable with how adversarial the analogy is though. Attacking the problem seems like it encourages an aggressive mindset, much like the "War on Drugs" (or the "War on Terror"), blinding people to solutions other than raids and shootouts.
Mightn't a better analogy be, say, growing a garden or building a building - something which has three stages and where you meet obstacles, but isn't adversarial?
