A win for everybody that was never really a win for anybody, since at least one person, if not everybody, lost something to the machine/system, or someone that was part of the machine/system. Disney was/is a master of Machiavellian principles, since people feel like they gain something by waiting in a line at Disneyland/Disney World for 45 minutes of their time instead of an hour of their time. Really it's Disney that gains from this, since people think Disney has a real concern for their families, and not for the Disney reputation and lost dollar signs that would come with any damage to the Disney reputation.
It would be a Machiavellian Victory if one of the two buildings was demolished, or if 4 or 5 of your 10 neighbors homes burned to the ground and yours didn't, you feel like you kept or even gained something by not losing everything, but half of your neighborhood is lost forever and half your neighbors lost everything. So, a Machiavellian victory is when people feel like everybody won because they didn't lose everything, when really just one person or entity actually gained/benefitted from what actually hzppened. Really most wars have casualties, so they are Machiavellian victories if your country doesn't lose a war, since somebody somewhere still lost a family member. Life is a matter of what you lose and not what you win or gain.

Most people don't use equations on a daily basis, since they don't tend to prove as much to as many people as having a lot of money does. If it's not a means to an end, most people aren't going to do it even for show, since they don't see dollar signs that go with it.

The girl that thought she was Cantaness from Hunger Games and thought her bow and arrow was a toy and shot the other girl with it at the swim meet laughed about it afterwards, it didn't seem real.

There is a sciene to getting people to trust you, but there's not one to actually being trustworthy. If you're the kind of person that has to put lots of extra effort into the science of gaining trust, or enticing people to trust you, it's usually because you were never really trustworthy in the first place due to your true intentions.
Being trustworthy isn't something a trustworthy person has to try to do because it's who they are. No amount of science or brilliant scientific mind will alter or change that.
