David,
I don't disagree with this. Orders, and any written instructions, are there to give an overall direction in which to proceed. Good managers invariably implement these instructions taking into consideration the resources available to them, the manpower restraints, local conditions, etc... and this causes them to weave along the path - staggering from side to side but still moving in the general direction.
If everyone were to go in their own direction - which could be 180 degrees off-track, then there would be no order. The result would be chaos and armies are not generally know for that.
