Become too conservative and you were unprepared for surprises.
(Chapterhouse: Dune, p. 320)
This is Odrade's warning to her advisors. This is the reason the machines lost in the Butlerian Jihad. This is the reason that humanity is uniquely prepared at this point in the story because they have learned this lesson from Muad'Dib and the Tyrant. And they have Odrade, Sheeana, Idaho, Teg, and Murbella ... five amazing characters.
