So, a bunch of decision makers sit around a big table and debate whether or not to have a war. The people in favor propose that they could throw massive amounts of money and lives at a project and and there is a possiblility that maybe it could work out to be economically beneficial.

The leader asks what is the probablility of success.

Proponents say... well, sometimes these thing work out well... but we really don't know.

Is that how it works?
