The phrase "fog of war" originates from battles of long ago, when the view of the battlefield would quickly become obscured by the smoke of cannons and muskets. It later referred to the fact early reports in war are often wrong, or misleading, or contradictory, leaving the commander "in a fog" due to the lack of reliable reports.
Today, in our modern information age, I think the fog of war has taken on a whole new connotation. The problem is no longer too few reliable reports, but a flood of too much information.
