Well, my statement was to attest to the Mak phalanx. And Perseus still is a bad commander if he allows the enemy to take the initiative before his man are stationed (yeah I don't like the guy that much :p I bet his grandfather sold a mule to my great-great-great-great...-grandfather who was limb and he knew it and ten refused to pay over!).
As for the phalanx, I like the way they are in EB. from the front, impossible to beat but if you flank them they are in a major major disadvantage.
