Abstract: Assuming all the factual information and all the logistic estimates presented by Mr. Wood (Wood, M. K. 1961. The national security dilemma: Challenge to management scientists. Management Sci. 7 (3) 195-209.) to be correct, I fail to see how his nine conclusions follow as logical consequences, unless some additional assumptions are made. Had these assumptions been made explicitly, we could quickly discover the real roots of our disagreement. As it is, I can do no more than treat Mr. Wood's nine propositions as opinions instead of conclusions, declare which of these opinions I share, and which I do not, and indicate my reasons for rejecting some of them.
