This is true in real life as well. I'm sure different military
commanders all have different opinions about the effectiveness and
benefits of different strategies. Just like we don't have a book that
states what the relative combat strength of a tank vs. an infantryman,
we don't know the numbers behind BM's combat code either.

And it's not just Just ask a room full of people how to eat "right."
Someone will say a vegetarian diet is best, someone else will say eat
meat and cut carbs, some will say fish is the key, someone else will
say you should only eat eggs and milk - and each will cite some
anecdotal or scientific research to support their claim.

See, and here's where my experience lines up with Paris'. I haven't
been in heavy fighting for a long time, but when I was, I had a time
when I was mostly using archers, and I stopped hunting with them
because they were constantly getting slaughtered when they ran into
2-3 enemy soldiers. Others in my realm noted similar results. Wheras
with infantry I had previously had much better success.

Of course, maybe this was a bug, and it was fixed at some point? I dunno.
