i think the whole missile defence thing is a crock

theres not the slightest bit of evidence it'd work

Except of course for the times that they have done it.

That'd be the times when they rigged it, fudged the tests - right?

The times they put the beacon on the incoming - screaming "Here I am
- c'mon hit me"!

Since those were interceptor tests, not sensor tests or system
integration tests it seems reasonable to any intelligent person to
ensure that the target will be detected, but then that explains why
you don't get it, doesn't it.

Of course, in the early stages of development they should make it
impossible to hit or even detect the targets, because that would
really help, wouldn't it?.



Well,scientific method would have one eliminate as many variables as
possible to produce more reliable data and less confusion.
