AKICIF: Origin of quote "A superior warrior uses his superior judgement in order to avoid being forced to use his superior fighting skills."
Mark Atwood
I'm hunting down the original form and origin of this quote.
It's not in "The Art of War". Google isn't finding it, and it's not
in Wikiquote.
Anyone have answers or pointers?

Just a wild guess: _A Book of Five Rings_ by Miyamoto Musashi?

Sounds like something Xena would say.

Nope. But I'm amused -- I'm familar with essentially the same quote,
but about *pilots* (airplane). I wonder which is the original? It
actually makes more sense for pilots; warriors often have no
involvement in the politics that prevent, or lead to, wars.
