The reason that the protagonists know in the heart of their hearts, what the real situation is. Even those who are delusional genetically know, deep down, whether they have won or lost.The first point that merits consideration is that the world today seldom allows war to do its job to the full.War occurs when two or more adversaries realize that there are no other means of resolving a political conflict. The task of war is to help the adversaries discover each others threshold of pain. Once one adversary is pushed to that threshold he would surrender, allowing the war to end with a clear winner
