In the Marine Corps, we had something called the “OODA loop”, for Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. The idea was to process through the loop faster than your adversary. Sometimes, looking at the community of good guys as a whole, it seems like we don’t even *have* an OODA loop, while the bad guys are cycling through theirs at Warp factor 4. It’s not like we’re suddenly just going to say, “you know, botnets aren’t that bad, let’s keep them around and hold hands””]
