Systems are cleverer than individuals; or more exactly a system uses many individuals (intelligent and less) against other individuals and in a way individuals don't understand completely since it's not in their expertise to understand nany things and a system is made from many experts which makes it even harder for the individual to reach for understanding.

Only the main heads of the system have the exact ideas which can also change/react according to mass reactions.

Individuals only see and have access to the results of these actions not the roots (who, what, where, when, how).
Individuals can only guess or measure from after those ideas have been put into place and actioned (not before). This is a major advantage of a system and attacking but adjusting to reactions with their own reactions behind closed doors.
