What I thought this list was supposed to our opinion. Seems like you are pointing out what you do not agree with and what you do agree with.

I see engineering as a constant cycle one thing leads to another which leads to another.You cant have a B-52 without a B-29 and so on down the line. Technology in warfare is all about advancing and then countering a foes technology. One guy makes a better rifle so the other guy must also do so.

Seems to me like you want to discuss things on a much more specific detail than the spectrum of your/a list can cover.For example which is the better design for ground attack? P-47, FW190, Il-2. The reason why in depth can not be covered by a list.

I disagree about Napoleon he developed the theory but the technology to truly use artillery to its fullest effect did not come around until the last century.

Theory of warfare and technology of warfare are two different things and a change in technology almost always results in a change in the theory.
