This letter reminds me of a historical anecdote (I read about it in some history book, it could be apocryphial though) in which Hitler&#x27;s generals were faced with some ludicrous strategical concepts of his. But, of course, noone really dared to speak up. And finally one gray-haired general clears his throat and says &quot;mein Fuhrer, I&#x27;m afraid you are mistaking Stalin for a genius equal to yourself!&quot;
