The stagnation of the phalanx

Description

Manos sent this in for Murray to chew over. 

'Having heard and read so much about Phillip & Alexander's training of the Macedonian phalanx as to becoming flexible in manoeuvring difficult battle landscapes as well as proficient when encountering lateral attacks, I remain sceptical about the devastating results in both the battles of Cynoscephalae and Pydna. Was it hubris on the part of Phillip and later his son Perseus or lax training which resulted in both battles' outcome?'
