The rationale of the book is to say "we should define sensible reasonable military objectives for the armed forces, and provide the best equipment our money will buy"

There are contradictory points such as "actually ADV was eventually quite good and the performance was good enough..." and that it was overall a cost-effective reasonable compromise.
