This is a fantastic short story. Basically Humans are the dominant species in the galaxy. We defeat any new soecies we come across not with guns and soldiers but by using crazy logical/ilogical and paradoxical behavior/arguments to drive our antagonists mad and into submission..Fabulous
This story is great. Short enough to be a fast read, fun idea.
