Wasn't Blitzkrieg formulated by Heinz Guderian in his book, Achtung Panzer, in 1937? The invasion of Poland lasted about 4 weeks, and France 6 weeks, hardly enough time to invent a new doctrine and train everyone to use it.

I had a similar experience with a co-worker who had an MSc in CS (from U. of Windsor, Ontario).
"Stack, stack! What's all this about stack?" he impatiently groused to me one day during a work conversation.

When debugging at the hardware level it's fairly common to fill uninitialized memory (or newly allocated in a debug version of the malloc libraries) with a value that will either cause the computer to execute a system level break ( eg: TRAP / BRK etc) or something fairly obvious such as ($BA).
If you don't like the 0's, then replace your memory allocation library.
$BA ?
