Scientists Create a "Law of War" -But Does It Work?

An international team of scientists have bravely taken time away from fusion research, curing cancer and solar power to announce some truly staggering results:  in war, sometimes some people get killed.  But other times, more people get killed.  It's amazing stuff.

In a complexity study more staggeringly misleading than a blind guide dog that's just been spun in a centrifuge, their discovery of a "Law of War" was announced at the European Consortium for Mathematics.  The work doubtless contains valuable insights from the growing field of complexity theory, so it's unfortunate that such valid research is tarted up with buzzword headlines more mercilessly targeted on defence department dollars than a cash-seeking missile.
