Actually 14 instances now that you have been so kind to respond. :-) I am surprised at how quickly escribe can perform the search. The use of the word often implies a hidden resource used to overcome an opponent. In the novel I mentioned, the phrase "expediency trumps virtue" (along with the title) could give the astute reader insight into the plot of the book. BTW, it was actually Mr. Lawrence's post of 25 Apr which I almost remembered where he used the phrase "experiment trumps theory". Everyone here is so bloody brilliant that you all look the same to me at times.
