When Knights oppose Gardeners, Knights often win in the short term because they are more aggressive, find great meaning in conflict, and resist compromise because—like Galahad—they believe compromise pollutes one’s integrity or prevents a decisive defeat of evil. Gardeners often do not help their case when they seek mediation or compromise with Knights in an effort to minimize the devastation.

Sometimes Gardeners tell each other not to worry about Knights, that the Knights will burn themselves out in time—not realizing that Knights left unchecked may burn down the world in the meantime.
