Really apreciate how this breaks down the terrain-flaw mapping that Sun Tzu implies but never makes explicit. The point about unobstructed terrain requiring vision to avoid being outflanked is spot on. I've seen this playout in a few competitive situations where teams had all the resources but got blindsided by lateral moves they didn't anticipate. What's interesting is how the leadership flaw cascades differently depending on terrain type, almost like the environment acts as an amplifier for specific weaknesses rather than just a neutral backdrop. This reframing makes the Chapter 10 analysis way more actionable for diagnosing where an organization might actually fail.
