If you found out the pentagon was using a magic 8 ball to make important war decisions what would you want to fix - our military leadership or the inner workings of the toy?

One of those sounds a lot easier than the other. The magic 8 ball toy company would also probably be pretty incentivized to not die in a nuclear holocaust.

Unless you're suggesting the toy company secretly rigs the magic 8 ball to never recommend nuclear war, I'll take my chances with the organizational changes.

That is indeed what I think the gp is suggesting I feel. And why not?

Because if your leadership is stupid enough to trust the 8 ball they should not be in charge??!
