I wrote about "soldiers respect poor but fast speed" before, but it seems to have been different from the content.

The meaning of "poor but fast speed" here does not seem to be "just go fast, even if it's poorly done.

The correct meaning, in a nutshell, seems to be ...

"Fight "only" if you can win in a short time. Otherwise (if it's likely to be a long time or you don't know if you can win), don't fight"

However, this is very difficult.

Research and development (R&D) is fatally time-consuming and costly, and researchers who fail to develop new weapons (new technologies) may have their raison d'etre questioned.

If I can develop a "winning technology" in a short period, I will have no trouble.

In other words, when it comes to R&D, if I think of "soldiers respect poor but fast speed" as Sun Tzu interpreted it, it becomes synonymous with "I do nothing/can't do anything".

Anyway, it is not good to leave misunderstandings, so I will correct the contents of my previous diary.

I take down "soldiers respect poor but fast speed",

"There's nothing Ebata can do about it, except to be 'too quick'."

I'd like to change it to that.
