    If you ascribe to your enemy all sorts of goals, plans and timelines they never had then you can paint it as a defeat for them when all those things don’t happen.

    It’s a good way to boost morale among your own ranks but in terms of reality it is just moving the goalposts to be able to redefine your own defeat as a victory.
