Sight "The Art Of War" or other strategies. You will notice that psychology is key in defeating enemies moreso than brute fatal strength.

Just like Mike Tyson was never beaten in the ring (per se). He was defeated by his own weaknesses and ego (will help from Don King and Robin Givens of course)

Its a matter of context.
