Super Hornets: I don't get it

Ed, Growler, Prowler and Raven are NOT Wild Weasels. Weasels are NOT jammers. Weasels are hunter/killers. Small point, but IIRC the current EA-6B is HARM-equipped/capable. That would make it a "weasel," n'est-ce pas? I think it's debatable..."Wild Weasel" to me is more about tactics than what weapon is loaded. I can't imagine any Prowler pilot trying to tease a SAM site into going live and hoping he can stuff a HARM down the beam before they get a missile off. Growlers probably won't be much more daredevilly even with the improved agility.
