The most advanced weapons in the world are useless if the men wielding them aren't in a position to deploy them properly. An experienced force can exploit this no matter what weapons they are given.
That certainly seems an 'agreement' that is wildly different from and even in contradiction to the statement it claims to be agreeing with.
