Letter to the Baht Basher ( a ill regarded and sleazy Galatic Internet news service)
Dear reader,
To continue your debate on Exterminator tactics, I am little concerned about the suppositions made by the JAC HQ on Exterminator tactics, revealed in your electronic digest recently. It seems that estimating Exterminator tactics and deployments to be based on the fact thier number sysyem is binary, (or "culture"), is hazardous.
Human number systems are decimal. As a point of comparison the human fleets are not based on ships operating in bunches of ten. Human fleets are not built in blocks of ten either. We should not assume that Exterminator fleet tactics and deployments are governed by the binary system. Rather we should assume that they are governed, by thier past encounters and experience.
