That is true you do have to narrow down your interests some what the brain can only handle so much.
Robert E. Lee must have said that before the Civil War not after.He may have lost Gettysburg based on one order that he gave that was not clearly understood or rather the urgency of the order.For that reason I say that Alexander was the best general and in a certain way you could really argue that Hannibal was the best general even though he failed at his primary goal he almost made it and that was an achievement in its own right.
