In the beginning of the pacific war, many a good commander lost his command because the Admiral in Fremantle would not believe his beloved US technology could be broken. Senior officer intransigence manifested itself all over the US Forces. Most were very clever but some still lived in WW1, and tactically unshakeable. There were even some who still opposed the replacement of cavalry with the tank. We had a couple of idiots here in the UK too, but the powers that be soon fixed that.
