In Asimov's "Foundation" humans had flown and fought in space for one hundred thousand years, and they STILL use two-dimensional tactics! And it's not an oversight on Asimov's part -- when Bel Riose wins a major battle by utilizing third dimension, the losing side accuses him of cheating. IOW, Asimov clearly thought of the matter, just his conclusion is flatly incredible.

I don't remember that (just my bad memory). Which battle?
I remember Riose talking to Ducem Barr (or was it Lathan Devers?) about the Previous Inclosure maneuver, which from context was obviously an englobement of the Terminus system.
