To be fair, we may have different interventions in mind here. I would also expect someone who genuinely found knowledge to use "soft force", but maybe that's just wishful thinking.
However, if forcing people to do things really helps, I'm all for intervention. Addicts, for example.
I was thinking armies, secret police, so on and so forth, forcing an entire country to one's will.
Hmmm. I hadn't thought of addicts. You make a good point.
I think I might need to re-evaluate my heuristics on this point.
