In keeping with this, from Warrior Lessons II
Develop the practice of doing as little as possible when affecting things. It will require you to understand this most important thing as a process, make you understand the importance of change, timing and balance. Keeping the use of your resources as low as possible means you'll have more resources to deal with the inevitable unexpected.

The advantage of reductio ad absurdum arguments are:
- it forces you out of justification mode and into discovery mode
- contradictions are easy to find if they exist
- you volunteer none of your own ideas to be attacked
