Is flemish revolution the most broken and OP tech in the game?

In my opinion it is.

I don't mean that the tech is uncounterable or guarantees a win, probably the tech has not more than 20% success rate.

My problem with the tech is that it basically gives a player on a severely losing position an undeserved second chance to get a win by simply clicking a button. So, even if the success rate of the tech is low, researching the tech from a losing position is a win-win situation because if you lose... Whatever, you probably would have lost anyway, while if you win you're basically getting a win you would and should have never got. As far as I know no other tech gives you this chance and I think this mechanic is just bad for competitive play.

One possible counter argument may be "it's a risky tech, to research the tech you basically lose your eco". IMO this is false, there's basically no risk in researching the tech if you research it from a severely losing position, when you're about to lose your eco anyway. There is no skill involved aswell, little to no planning required, and what bothers me is the potential of the tech to steal a win from a more deserving opponent, that is really bad and detrimental for a game which is trying to gain a spot in Esport scene.

IMHO there is no possible redemption for the tech, even if you nerf flemish militias and lower the success rate, it's always gonna be too high compared to the chances you have when you research the tech on certain spots. I really hope for a rework, the concept of instantly turning vills into military just doesn't belong to age2.

Example of how the tech can work:
