love it:) reminds me of one of my favorite Sun Tzu quotes;

"Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt." Sun Tzu, The Art of War

it's also similar to the Plains Indians; 'counting coup' where they sneak up on the enemy (native American theme in Q's movie)...

"Among the Plains Indians of North America, counting coup (/kuː/) is the warrior tradition of winning prestige against an enemy in battle. It is one of the traditional ways of showing bravery in the face of an enemy and involves intimidating him, and, it is hoped, persuading him to admit defeat, without having to kill him. These victories may then be remembered, recorded, and recounted as part of the community's oral, written, or pictorial histories."
