Untrue, people are predictable and lack of self awareness makes you more vulnerable to being controlled.

this is probably apocryphal, but I think I recall hearing about German officers complaining that they went to a lot of trouble to learn about the US army's official operating procedures, and it didn't do them any good cause the US never actually followed them

This can actually be a valid tactic. Poker players, for example, don't like playing against total novices, because the novice doesn't play by convention. Makes them truly unpredictable and unreadable.

This was a valid tactic, if not accidental.

during WW2 Germans and Japanese both said that you could not rely on US soldiers to do things by the book (or the way they had been trained) and had a harder time predicting behavior and movement of smaller groups of troops.

I once watched a 2100 ELO player lose to a 1200 ELO player for this exact reason. The instant I saw the game turn around, I could only pity the advanced player for expecting the novice to predict anything. Afterward, the advanced player was bizarrely shaken by the loss. I wish I had saved the replay.

The odds of winning between 1200 and 2100 is what, 1/1,000? It felt like seeing a unicorn.

Edit: 1/179
