In the types of conflicts described David is not fighting on a level playing field. Most of the time Goliath must actively defeat David, Goliath is not allowed to utilize his full power and no matter the cost denying Goliath his aims is considered a victory. Unconventional strategies are no doubt helpful but these are very different from competitions. If anything, I would argue a computer simulation in the Navy competition WAS Goliath!
