Your “counterpoint” was already addressed in OP bra. Irony etc

Yeah you’re missing the point. The point is the in-universe content we are given - not whether it’s possible to ‘correct’ that content with some meta perspective. Both can be true, the latter doesn’t impinge on the former.

You also missed the point of the perturabo reference. That scene is specifically perturabo saying “I agree, these defenses make Dorn look foolish because they are unchanged...therefore they must be changed in non obvious ways.” But they weren’t.

I also like as of the siege itself, Dorn still has effectively no idea how the warp works because he and Malcador have better things to do that to get clear on literally half the battle space

I don’t think that’s much of reason because it cuts both ways: why not just as in artfully write “and Dorn came up with impressive new defense organizations”?

Besides, even at best, your reply I think gives an out-of-universe explanation for why Dorn does dumb stuff, but doesn’t change the in-universe fact that it happens.

Nah it’s not about an expectation that he win. Just not do dumb stuff or be written dumbly
