The Hill Climbing Method Isn't Optimism

The hill climbing method doesn't depend on unity of tactics or close co ordination between different groups. Instead, it allows each individual or collective to pick a tactic that moves them up the hill towards their goal. The less time all have to spend agreeing on tactics and timing, the more time we have to actually advance those tactics. To be hopeful is to tread water, so long as you haven't gone to the bottom, rescue is still possible.
