The illustrated encyclopaedia agrees with this, to an extent. It basically says all his knowledge about war is completely theoretical and that he believes, above al else, in simulation training for the Stormtroopers (which Phasma disagrees with, she prefers practical battle situations as training).
Hux's plan sure as hell backfired with Finn! In the simulations he could talk himself into buying the propaganda that the First Order were protectors of the people, bringing order to a lawless galaxy. Actual missions blew holes through that real fast.
